Two Nets with team options, Cliff Robinson and Scott Padgett, may know their fate by 6 pm Friday...or may not. Robinson will apparently accept less money to return, but it may require a new deal. On Thursday, Ed Stefanski said the Nets "don't know" if Robinson will be back but Rod Thorn was quoted as saying, "It's going to get done". Padgett is expected to be bought out for $400,000. Meanwhile, the Nets are reportedly targeting swingman Rasual Butler of the Hornets for the bench.
