Newly-acquired big man Troy Murphy wonders why his home state team, the New Jersey Nets, is not an attractive spot for free agents, according to NJ.com. Murphy, who is from Sparta, NJ, believes that’s the pieces are now in place for the Nets to become a playoff team and only the team chemistry remains to be built on. Murphy was part of a four-team trade that was consummated earlier this month between the Nets, Indiana Pacers (his former team), Houston Rockets and New Orleans Hornets.
“It’s not just because I’m from Jersey, but I couldn’t understand when all these free agents were looking for places to go that so many of them overlooked the Nets. Really, look at it … objectively: Besides a great young center and an All-Star point guard, all the pieces are in place for this to be a very good team very quickly once we develop some chemistry. And by that I mean a playoff team.”
