Just what the Thunder needed

If things weren't bad enough before, enter the return of Nenads!

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The New Jersey Nets have declined to match Oklahoma City's offer sheet to former first-round pick Nenad Krstic.

The decision Tuesday gives the Thunder another 7-footer as they continue to look for a reliable center.

Krstic was playing in Russia when the Thunder extended an offer sheet to him last week. The Nets had a week to match it but passed.

He will be the fourth 7-footer on Oklahoma City's roster, joining Robert Swift, Johan Petro and Mouhamed Sene. Another 7-footer, Steven Hill, was waived to make room for Krstic.

Krstic was drafted 24th overall in 2002. The Thunder hope he can provide steady play at the core of a struggling offense that's next to last in the NBA in scoring.

Swift, Petro, Sene, Nenad.. OH BOY OH BOY! Mofo, I think they need to see if Gheorge Muresan is available.
