Billy King unsure if the Nets 'core' can compete

Brooklyn Nets GM Billy King said Monday he wasn?t sure if the core of Brook Lopez, Deron Williams and Joe Johnson can still compete. Although the Nets GM has been fairly optimistic is previous years despite the slower starts, it finally seems like Billy King is losing his patience.

Billy King on if the Nets can compete with their core 3 of Deron, Joe, and Brook: "We'll see."

Does he mean that he is unsure the Nets can compete for a title? Compete for a playoff spot? Compete on a night-to-night basis? All three questions seem questionable at the time.

The Nets are 6-9 and are slowly falling behind the other teams in the Eastern conference. How long will it be before the Brooklyn Nets GM pulls the plug on the Big 3 and tries something new?
