This is about as good of a chance as he could have hoped for.  He gets to play on a veteran team, with some quality passers, and guys who play both ends of the court.  He will be playing for a coach that is known as a disciplinarian.  And he actually has a really good chance to play a big role.

That checks all the marks.  Now, it is up to Blatche to prove that he is ready to grow up.

I don't know, I have trouble taking the Nets seriously as an organization.  It just seems they're built entirely on flash and entertainment, not on being a truly cohesive, championship competitive organization.  I don't see anyone on that team, not Deron, Crash, or Joe Johnson, who will step up as a true leader of the team and drive them forward to success (as KG/Pierce/Rondo have done for us.)  I have trouble imagining the Nets being serious about defense and prevailing through tough situations.  I think they're honestly going to be a lot like the Knicks who are a pretty big joke themselves.  They'll be a tough team to play due to their talent, but ultimately harmless.

And I think Blatche combined with a NYC might be a disaster.
