Starting Over, But Not From Scratch ...Posted By NBASCOUT on 08/24/2008 - 6:10PM EDT
Starting Over, But Not From Scratch ...
By: NBASCOUT / Special to netsinteractive
The venerable former Net, Jason Kidd, has remarked of late that the Nets are "starting over." To that I would add: But not from scratch!Indeed, there are but three remaining holdovers from the Kidd era: Vince Carter, Josh Boone and Sean Williams. Never the less, it doesn't mean that the Nets can't achieve!
Starting PG Devin Harris is a seasoned player that only recently was guiding the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA finals. Backup Keyon Dooling brings valuable playoff experience with him from Miami and Orlando. Moreover, Eduardo Najera and Jarvis Hayes have both participated in postseason runs and Trenton Hassell's been there, too. So, you can't say the team is devoid of postseason experience. Finally, you can't forget that one of the greatest athletes to ever dunk a basketball is also on hand. His name: Vince Carter!
Remember, it is not as if Vinsanity didn't go one up on the Heat on the way to a possible finals appearance with a spirited Nets squad a few short years ago. It was against one of the better, Riley-coached, Shaq-led, championship teams of all-time ... only to see the run cut short by an untimely suspension to Cliff Robinson ... and injury to running-mate Richard Jefferson!??
So what's to expect from the 2008-2009 version of the Nets?
Jaycee Carroll off to ItalyPosted By NBASCOUT on 08/11/2008 - 12:53AM EDT
Jaycee Carroll off to Italy
By: NBASCOUT / Special to netsinteractive.com
6-2 PG Jaycee Carroll, who played well for the Nets Summer League entry, has followed in the footsteps of Nenad Krstic and Boki Nachbar to Europe. Reports that he signed yesterday with Teramo Basket seem to be confirmed. They are a team in the first division of ItalyThis a good move for Jaycee as it will afford him the opportunity to play and grow in the highly competitive Italian League. Reports are that he got a guaranteed contract in Euros.
If he shows that he can play both guard positions, it might be his stepping-stone to another shot at the NBA with more money involved - rather than as an end-of-bench player that he'd surely be if he tried to make a team off of a training camp invitation. Jaycee may have had a chance to stick with the Nets, but, apparently, the Nets will now have to move in another direction for a third guard if that's what they want. Stay tuned!

On August 6th the Nets entire regular season schedule was announced, and their first week is nothing to be excited for. The open this season away in Washington than they come back to New Jersey for 3 home games against the Warriors, Suns, and Pistons. That is not an east opening week, 3 of the 4 were play-off teams last season, and all 4 finished with records above .500%.
Games to look forward to:
Nenad Krstic off to MoscowPosted By NBASCOUT on 07/29/2008 - 1:03PM EDT
Nenad Krstic off to Moscow

At the stroke of midnight the carriage turned into a 'pumpkin.' There was no Cinderella story here. Nenad Krstic is a Net no more!The 'glass slipper' is that the Nets retain his rights (as long as they make qualifying offers). If he works himself back to his old form overseas, the 'silver lining' could be a return to the team where he established himself as one of the up-and-coming players to be reckoned with in the NBA before injury took its toll.
Reports circulate that Agent Marc Cornstein's wife and Assistant, Natasha, confirmed the signing with the Russian team, Triumph, indicating "they made him an offer that he couldn't refuse." That settles that!
