Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen are in Boston. Zach Randolph is in New York. Rashard Lewis is in Orlando. Each franchise has, at least on paper, improved its team. The Nets did do some roster maintenance by signing Vince Carter and added Jamaal Magloire. What's next? No big deals are in sight, says Rod Thorn, although the Nets are pursuing 6'-5" Roger Mason. Of course, as Lawrence Frank will (always) tell you, "you have to give Boston a lot of credit".
