I'm a nomad. The Nets ran a battery of tests on Martin's leg and had their doctors take an extra close look at the injury. Martin also visited Vancouver and Orlando, although he said the Magic's doctors did not look at his leg. Although he is a bit undersized for the position, the Nets would be expected to use him at center in place of Jayson Williams, whose career is being brought to a premature end because of a broken leg. Williams' injury, along with an injury that will keep Kerry Kittles sidelined at the start of the season, is why the Nets might be a little more skittish than most about picking a player coming off such an injury.
Most people have their own perception of Vancouver and they've never been there.
They're just going by rumors. But I liked the city and the people, and I had fun when I was there. Fizer, a 6-8 forward who averaged 22.8 points while shooting 58 percent from the field, seemed resigned to the likelihood that he's headed to the Clippers, the league's perennial doormat. Like Michael Olowokandi and Lamar Odom before him, Fizer tried to look at the bright side. The Cavaliers, Mavericks, SuperSonics, Trail Blazers and Raptors have been trying to move up.
