The Devin thing will be interesting to watch. Avery probably did keep the reins on a little too long while Devin was here but you could argue that The Nets erred in the other direction. Like if you can't hit the 3 at a 30% clip maybe you shouldn’t shoot 3 or 4 a game. The last year and a half in New Jersey has reinforced that thought that Devin does need someone to keep him focused on doing what he does best.

Yeah for all the talk about Avery stifling Devin's greatness, Devin Harris seemed pretty enthusiastic about the possibility of hiring Avery a few weeks ago when I heard it brought up in the first place. Plus as you mentioned, Devin was a much more efficient scorer under Avery than he has been as a Net. I always thought the notion perpetuated around here that Avery Johnson was some type of evil overlord who sucked Devin of all of his powers was more myth than reality.
