Going from a 3-34 team to a 25-12 team would prompt most anybody to want to schedule a ticker-tape parade.But forward Eduardo Najera, expected Monday to be traded from New Jersey to Dallas, told FanHouse on Sunday night he has some mixed feelings about the deal, even though he was one of the Mavericks' most popular players from 2000-04. Najera has great respect for New Jersey president Rod Thorn and general manager and coach Kiki Vandeweghe.
"Kiki is a good friend and so is Rod,'' said Najera, who played for Vandeweghe for a 1 ½ seasons before he was ousted as Denver's general manager in May 2006 and then rejoined Vandeweghe with New Jersey in the summer of 2008 by signing a four-year, $12 million contract. "The team has grown together even though it has been rough at times (with the losing).''
Still, Najera realizes the Nets are rebuilding. And Najera, 33, knows he doesn't have a lot of time left in his quest to win an NBA title.
