Suggestion Box - November 8, 2006
Name Game 2006
Updated! The roster had more than 50% turnover, so we're going to need your help again in giving nicknames to the 2006 - 2007 Nets in our annual Name Game! Yes, that's right - give the newbies a nickname that'll stick (or at least make us chuckle) and we'll get them all compiled.
