I get that Terry has been terrible and Evans does nothing but Marcus Thornton has been a bad, far below average player this year. The only reason that the Nets are getting a pass for taking on a guy like this is that they are the only team that contracts just dont matter and he can be dumped next season's trade dealine as an expiring contract.
If Marcus Thornton represents even a sliver of hope for Nets fans they are even further beaten down than Knicks fans.

It's established he's had a bad season, but back form counts for something and he averaged nearly 19 PPG less than 2 years ago. He's also 26 and they gave up a 33 and 36-year-old. Everyone likes to bash the Nets for being old, then they get younger and people still criticize. And all they did was add roughly the same amount in tax that they shed in the Teague deal.
