The New Direction Of The New Jersey NetsDespite the feeling that the Nets have gutted the roster by trading Jason Kidd, they are in fact left with a fairly talented team that won't be horrible now and could quickly improve in the future. | | 
2007-2008 Season Preview: New Jersey NetsThe 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.

| 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.

| 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.

| 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.
