Tell me, how good is Orlando's Nelson?

I know there is a witch hunt for Ron Jeremy, but what did Orlando give up with Nelson being out? Is he like their Nash where they can't do anything right on offense without him? Just trying to get a feel for how bad a coach Gundy is.

He thinks he is better than Devin Harris

Devin Harris responds to Jameer Nelson
There should be a little extra something to Monday’s matchup of point guards. Orlando’s Jameer Nelson recently brought up Devin Harris as a reference point to his ongoing contract negotiations.

“I think I’m a better player, and I mean more to my team,” Nelson said according to published reports. “My numbers are better. Yeah, he’s bigger, but he’s not a legit 6-3. I’m a legit 6-1.”

Nelson was joking about his height, but not about his demands. There appears to be a divide in the neighborhood of $10 milion between Nelson and the Magic.

Harris is aware of Nelson’s comments. Harris decided to take the high road, but isn’t about to apologize for his contact.

“What they don’t understand is a team figures your worth,” Harris said. “It’s not me. They see what you’re worth and they’re going to present that to you. I’m sure a lot of people think they deserve more, but it comes down to reality.”

Asked if he’s aware of when the Magic come to town, Harris simply said: “Soon.”

He's pretty good and he was having a great year. They way he was playing he was a top 5 PG on the league IMO.

Just about anything is better than Rafer Alston.

Their most convincing win of the series was when Anthony Johnson played major minutes.
