As a guest on NBA Radio Monday, Al Iannazone addressed the state of the Nets. Among other topics, he says that the Nets need Vince Carter to step up and become more aggressive with Richard Jefferson on the shelf. Still, both Iannazone and Dave D'Alessandro believe the timing is right for RJ's surgery. In his blog, D'Alessandro says the schedule is favorable for the Nets to stay afloat, but the defense needs to improve, like it did when the Nets were in a similar situation in 2005.
