Nets Name Vandeweghe GM

Nets Name Vandeweghe GM

By: NBASCOUT / Special to netsinteractive.com

In a much anticipated move, the Nets made their best signing of the offseason so far by announcing today that they've extended and promoted Special Assistant Ernest Maurice "Kiki" Vandeweghe, III to the position of New Jersey Nets' GM. As per team policy, details of the contract were not disclosed.

Thus ends the talent search to fill the position vacated by the popular former GM Ed Stefanski who moved over to Philadelphia. It can be said that "Kiki" earned his promotion on the basis of a strong showing in the New Jersey-Dallas transaction which brought Devin Harris, DeSagana Diop and others along with picks and cash to New Jersey in exchange for the venerable, but discontented all-Star, PG Jason Kidd.

It is ironic that the newly appointed Nets GM Vandeweghe now finds himself at the very helm of a team he once tried to sign talent away from - during the well meaning but ill-fated all-Star Kenyon Martin acquisition era down in Denver. He took former Knicks' GM Scott Layden for PF Antonio McDyess. Rod let Kiki have K-Mart. Now Kiki works for Rod. Perhaps, it is the Karmic "circle of life" that brought Kiki to New Jersey and soon to be Brooklyn?

In any event, congratulations to Kiki on the promotion. Kudos to the Nets organization ... starting with Rod ... and ending with ownership ... on this meaningful move. The Nets' investment in their braintrust has already paid dividends. The future of Nets' basketball never looked brighter!

Season Ends: Net Changes?

Season Ends: Net Changes?

By: NBASCOUT / Special to netsinteractive.com

The Nets' season (34-48) of the "changing of the guard" came to a merciful close for Nets' fans Wednesday night. It ended where it essentially began: With a loss to the Boston Celtics.

It should be recalled that the Nets' campaign began to 'head South' when Vince Carter crumpled to the ground in pain against the 'men in green' early on. The team never recovered from that and Jason Kidd's disaffection with the situation only made things worse.

On the positive side of the ledger, the Nets made some much needed changes and everyone from Vince Carter to Nenad Krstic will get a chance to heal in an early start to this offseason. While much had been said and written about it (the offseason), only time will tell if the moves that are made, if any, restore the franchise to credibility.

Nets Fall To Grizzlies

By: NBASCOUT / Special to netsinteractive.com

Memphis 100, Nets 93

Memphis, TN, Mar. 5 -- In a wild up-and-down affair down in Memphis against the lowly Grizzlies, who had lost nine-in-a-row, the Nets couldn't capitalize on their advantages as they fell to the opponent, 100-93. In the final analysis, the Nets didn't defend Grizzlies' starting PF Hakim Warrick well enough to win.

Warrick scored a season-high 25 points, on 9-of-15 shooting, including 13 points in the fourth quarter alone, to lead the Grizz to victory. The Nets also let their usual nemesis, Grizzlies' SG Mike Miller, score 22 points, on 9-of-13 from the floor. That along with reserve PG Kyle Lowry's 15 points and seven dimes off the bench did New Jersey in.

The Nets got plenty of production from the point as starting PG Devin Harris scored 20 points, albeit on only 6-of-17 from the floor, and handed-out eight assists. That along with reserve PG Marcus Williams' 11 points and eight assists off the bench kept the team in the game and gave the Nets a fighting chance ... But Devin 'shot pure blanks' (0-for-6) from downtown. [Even Dick Cheney could do better!]

SF Richard Jefferson heated up early and finished with 22 points to carry the team much of the game, but didn't score in the fatal fourth quarter. That was crucial as SG Vince Carter was not much of a factor on that end of things this night putting up only 12 points. [Maybe he was tired?]

C Nenad Krstic, on the other hand, who had his best game yet with 16 points, 9 boards and a pair of steals and some deflections in 35 minutes of action, was a bright spot, but still has a ways to go. He is nowhere near playoff-ready!

Duncan's 29 Leads Spurs to 10th Straight

By: NBASCOUT / Special to netsinteractive.com

San Antonio 81, Nets 70

San Antonio, TX, Mar. 4 -- The Nets were game for a quarter or so, but the San Antonio Spurs took firm control of the game like before to win going away 81-70. New Jersey couldn't mount a sustained challenge to the Spurs suffocating defense and couldn't answer their offense led by Tim Duncan's 29 points.

Newly acquired PG Devin Harris, in a starting role for the first time, started off the game well enough dishing more assists (7 in total for the game) than he had the game before (only 2) leading New Jersey to a seven point first quarter margin, 24-17. But soon enough the team went away from what worked and fell in love with the jumper. Instead of moving the ball and taking it to the hole, the Nets fell back and San Antonio advanced.

PG Devin Harris went cold from the floor the rest of the way. He was a good tandem along with PG Marcus Williams in the backcourt, though. SG Vince Carter led the Nets with 19 points and 9 boards. Marcus followed with a cool 16 points on 6-10 from the floor including 3-5 from beyond the arc. SF Richard Jefferson had an off-night.

The Nets play again tomorrow, Wednesday, March 5, down in Memphis. The Grizzlies should be an easier opponent after two straight against the Spurs. The game gets underway at 8:00pm EST and will be broadcast on Yes Network.

Parker Shines As Spurs Prevail

San Antonio 93, Nets 83

East Rutherford, NJ, Mar. 2 -- The Nets lost the first end of a home-and-away against the San Antonio Spurs by ten points tonight, 93-83. The final score, however, was not indicative of how much the Spurs dominated, though.

Spurs PG Tony Parker scored 25 points on 10-of-18 from the floor in under 34 minutes to lead the Spurs to a solid victory. He also chipped in 8 rebounds and 7 assists - one less than the Nets dished out for the entire game.

Newly arrived PG Devin Harris, on the other hand, scored 21 points (on 6-18) dishing only two assists in about 36 minutes. SG Vince Carter put up 21 as well on 9-of-18 to go with 8 boards, but that wouldn't be enough as the team didn't get enough from everyone else to mount a serious challenge to the Spurs. Worse of it, both SF Boki Nachbar and Devin Harris suffered injuries to their hips in this one.

The Nets get a chance to play it again on Tuesday, March 4, down in San Antonio. The game gets underway at 8:30pm EST and will be broadcast on Yes Network.
