Serbian center may be coming to Nets http://0rz.net/f81t2 Thursday, June 8, 2006 Mile Ilic is finishing his season in Serbia and could be moving closer to starting his professional career in New Jersey. Ilic's agent, Marc Cornstein, expects his client to be bought out of his contract with FMP in Serbia in the next several weeks and in a Nets' uniform by training camp. The 7-foot-2 Ilic was the Nets' second-round pick last year. Cornstein doesn't anticipate any problems. He said all parties involved know the plan is for Ilic to join the Nets, and that negotiations with FMP should begin after its season ends. "I think if the Nets want him here he'll be here and every indication I've gotten is the Nets want him here," Cornstein said. "I do believe [the buyout] is something that will happen shortly. I think it will be manageable. "I would be disappointed at this stage if Ilic was not a Net come October." NBA teams can pay $500,000 toward a player's buyout. The player pays the rest. The Nets won't offer Ilic a contract until the buyout is determined. Nets' brass is at the Orlando pre-draft camp this week. The Nets own picks 22 and 23 in the first round, but are trying to deal them to move up or package one with a player for a veteran. Ilic, 21, is said to be a better athlete than Nenad Krstic, but needs to work on his body and game. The Nets want Ilic here so he can practice with them and work with their strength and conditioning staff. He may come over in the next few weeks to work out. But Ilic won't play on the Nets' rookie/free agent team next month. The Serbian National team invited Ilic to play for it. Krstic may be his teammate. -- █◣▉██▉█ ▉ █▉██▉██▉◢█▉██▉█ ▉█◣▉██▉██▉◢█▉ █◥▉█▇ █◢◣▉▃ ▉█▇ █▇▉ ◥◣ █▇ ◥▇◤█◥▉█▇ ▉ ◥◣ █ ▉█▇▉◥◤◥◤◥█▉█▇▉█◥◣██◤█▇▉◢◤ █ ▉█▇▉ ▉ ██◤ --
