As it appears now, unless the Nets can get LeBron and have him bring along someone else, the Nets aren't going to sign a "top notch" free agent.  That's okay though.  Right now the Nets starting line up would consist of Brook Lopez, Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, Courtney Lee, and someone else who won't be the starter come this fall.
