RealGM: Basketball Wiretap Archives: Nets No Longer Consider CDR A Core Player
Quote:
Nets forward Chris Douglas-Roberts lost his starting spot to Jarvis Hayes earlier this week.
Douglas-Roberts is no longer considered a core player by New Jersey, sources told the New York Daily News.
The forward's outspokenness has annoyed the Nets.
Douglas-Roberts was averaging 17.2 points under coach Lawrence Frank, but has struggled since he was fired on Dec. 30.
He has been linked to the Grizzlies in rumors.

Frank obviously made a huge impact on him weather it was during the offseason or training camp, and now that he is gone. I think he's having a hard time adjusting to a new coach since this is really his first time going through this in the NBA.
Nets could get some good value for him though, teams know what he is capable of and they be considering that when they trade for him. He won't go cheap, that's one thing for sure.
