"The Nets have added two ex-Knicks named Williams — Shelden and Shawne — and dusted off Damion James following his oft-injured rookie season in their quest to upgrade both forward spots. But the Nets know they must do more.

Multiple league sources contend the Nets have done "virtually nothing" regarding a pursuit of Kirilenko, who is in Russia where he has battled through a shoulder injury and a broken nose."
