Welcome to New Jersey for this press conference. We would like to congratulate the Boston Celtics on a championship season and they are now the target. Since last season we traded Tyrone Hill to Washington for the #7 pick and selected Juwan Howard. We want to thank Tyrone Hill for his 2 successful years here but with the injuries we wanted to move in a different direction. With an improving Isiah Rider, scorer in Reggie Lewis and a rim protector in Elden Campbell we feel that we can make a run at the playoffs this year. With that being said we open the floor to questions.

Before drafting Juwan Howard, did you put him through an intensive physical to ensure that he had no history of injuries? What is your plan going forward with your front court rotation?

Nick Melon; Charlotte Observer: You've been very open about your desires recently to ship Nate McMillian out. You have weapons who can shoot and put the ball in the bucket but who is it that you desire to run the floor if it's not McMillan who's still a great defensive guard but due to his contract may not get any homes.

Johnny Junior: It's been no secret that you've been shopping Reggie Lewis. Why?

Elden Campbell was one of just a couple players to receive a max deal a couple of seasons ago. Now that you're getting deep into that deal, do you feel he's lived up to it?

Nate plays great defense and he's a great guy in the community. |

Johnny Junior: It's been no secret that you've been shopping Reggie Lewis. Why? At the time we felt that Reggie's best days were behind him but after further analysis we have changed positions. |

[bri think so, he brings a defensive mindset to the team. He's a top 5 shot blocker, a top rebounder at the center position who can also but the ball in the hoop. |

Sports Guy Bill Simmons here thanks for the kind words for my hometown team. What needs to happen for the Nets to break through this year and make the playoffs? Anything in particular you'd like to see out Juwan in his rookie season?

This draft class was a strong one to say the least. You decided to go with on of the Fab Five out of Michigan. Will Juwan's experience in the championship game be able to relate to the NBA world? And has he commented on his relationship with Chris Webber?

Anything in particular you'd like to see out Juwan in his rookie season? Stay injury free this season. At one pont last season Rider, Hill & Lewis were out at the same time. As for as Juwan Howard, he has big shoes to fill. I would like to see his inside game and defensive rebounds improve. |

Well let's be honest we have missed the playoffs the last 2 seasons and Juwan is a winner and will bring that mentality to New Jersey. As far as Weber , Juwan is engaged to a fine young lady. |

Jack Markson from Golden Take. Do you have a problem with the amount of jump shots Reggie Lewis takes? Is there a plan to have him take less jump shots and more shots from inside?
