2007-2008 Season Preview: New Jersey Nets
The New Jersey Nets entered the summer wanting to address two needs following a 41-41 2006-07 campaign. They needed an interior presence; preferably offensively. They also needed another outside gunner who could hit open shots. The “Big Three” of Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson are better used driving and creating to the basket, not standing on the perimeter.

RotoFreak.com: New Jersey Nets Fantasy Preview
Jason Kidd is 33 years old and a member of the microfracture surgery alumni; however, JKidd's fantasy falloff has yet to happen. The core of JKidd's value lies in the combination of 3PTM, REB, AST and STL. LeBron couldn't match any of those totals last year, and he couldn't come close to the 2.4 turnovers per game that JKidd was giving his owners either.

Nets Need Size
What can the Nets do to fill the void in the frontcourt? Well, they have the mid-level exception to sign free agents and there are some solid big men still on the market. Four names that come to mind are Chris Wilcox, Drew Gooden, Melvin Ely, and Lorenzon Wright.

Antoine Wright's Lack Of Impact Disheartening
Antoine Wright wasn’t supposed to be a star. Drafted with the 15th pick overall by the New Jersey Nets, the Texas A&M product lacked the sheer athletic ability, aggressiveness, and instincts routinely seen by the game’s best. Yet, when general manager Rod Thorn tabbed Wright as his selection in the first round of the 2005 draft, he did so with the belief that Antoine could become a valuable member of what Rod hoped would become a top-of-the-line bench.

With The 15th Pick In The NBA Draft...
When Stern opened his mouth to announce the Nets' selection, it wasn’t a Danny. It wasn’t a Gerald. It wasn’t a Joey, a Jarret, or even a Hakim. It was an Antoine.

Nothing But Rim For Nets
For the first time all season, the Nets had their big three of Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, and Richard Jefferson firing on all cylinders Thursday night. But in the end, each missed wide-open shots that might’ve kept the Nets from falling into an 0-3 hole against the Miami Heat… a hole that no NBA team has ever climbed out of.

New Jersey Nets: Hard Knock Life
| |
|
The 08-09 Blazers transitioned into a young, perennial playoff team and they will need to prove themselves to be a fringe championship contender this season before competing for that distinction in earnest during the 10-11 season.
The page has turned on a new season, but the Pacers are still struggling to find a second option behind Danny Granger and to stop opponents from lighting up the scoreboard.
The Washington Wizards are probably the toughest team to predict in the NBA this season, but we saw good indicators despite a rough night against Atlanta. 
This summer, Quentin Richardson was a member of the Knicks, Grizzlies, Clippers and Wolves before he was traded for good to Miami. In an exclusive interview with RealGM, he spoke of that experience and more.
The Lakers have the best team in the NBA by a fairly wide margin and are the prohibitive favorites to repeat. Phil Jackson's toughest job will be to keep a team this good interested for the 100+ games they'll play this season.
The Thunder could find a way into the playoffs, but Sam Presti's refusal to deviate from his long term plans when he had cap space to utilize this past summer makes that an order too tall for the impressively rapid development of their core.
The Nuggets were impressive in their 2009-10 debut against the Northwest Division rival Jazz.
Al Horford had a monster opener for the Hawks and told RealGM that his mid-range shooting is easily the most improved part of his game from a season ago.
Rick Carlisle has a number of talented players to manage, with a host of egos as well. Dallas often has one of the league’s highest-paid rosters, but they have yet to recover from their Finals collapse against the Heat in 2006.
Rick Adelman will have them prepared to play, despite the fact that their two best players are out in a star-driven league.
Assuming Manu Ginobili is healthy, along with the additions of Antonio McDyess and Richard Jefferson, San Antonio shouldn’t have a problem posting a win total in the mid-50s once again.
Phoenix missed the playoffs by two games last season, but they appear headed for another spring run with a healthy roster, added depth in the paint and their successful offensive game plan reinstalled.
Homecourt advantage isn’t likely, but the presence of Deron Williams and their two-headed monster in the paint should make for close to 50 wins.
It has been over 20 years since the game's best point guard won a title and that streak is all but certain to unfortunately continue with Chris Paul and the Hornets given their lack of quality scorers on the wing.
