No Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson may possibly make the Nets a dull team next season.
A consistent scoring threat, Carter could always be counted on. Anderson was still rough around the edges, but had the capability to be a damn good bench player or someone who could hit a big three and contribute on the [...]

This trade may end up going down as one of the worst in the team’s history. However, if things work out, it could be the beginning of a new-look Nets team that will be younger, faster and better on defense than they have been in quite some time.
Why the Nets would give up their leading [...]

After all this talk over the past few weeks about the Nets looking for another forward to help on the boards, the team may not be looking in that direction after all.
“Not necessarily,” team president Rod Thorn told the Associated Press regarding the Nets potentially going for need and drafting a forward. “As we’ve said, [...]

Before the season began, the New Jersey Nets had a minuscule chance to make the playoffs, especially when you consider the fact that their roster was filled with rookies, developing youngsters, unproven veterans and one superstar in Vince Carter that seemed like he was ready to start his decline.
However, the Nets managed to [...]

I remember when I did my season preview piece this season and I projected the team would win 33 games and come in tenth place, scoffing at places like the Yahoo Sports Basketball Blog that predicted the team would come up with a paltry 18 wins.
Nonetheless I understand where most of these places were [...]

The difficulty of the rest of the schedule the New Jersey Nets have this season can be looked at in two different ways.
With games against Boston, Orlando and the Lakers over the next few weeks, the Nets know they will have to rise to the next level against those teams or lay in the land [...]

Lets face it, despite how good the duo of Devin Harris and Vince Carter have been and regardless of how much Brook Lopez has progressed this season, the Nets have been hard-pressed to find a consistent presence from the other two spots in the lineup.
Bobby Simmons showed some flair against the Bulls last week, [...]

With Yi Jianlian, Bobby Simmons and Eduardo Najera all on the shelf and Vince Carter dealing with injuries of his own, the Nets may need this break more than any other team in the NBA.
Sure, they don’t have the injuries of some other teams in the league, but the bench especially has been hurt [...]

For many Nets fans, Kenyon Martin will always be the one that got away.
At one time, Martin was one of the core players on a Nets team that finished first in the Atlantic Division. It was before the arrival of Vince Carter and Devin Harris and before Byron Scott got the ax in favor [...]

Over the past two games, Yi Jianlian has looked nothing like the lethargic and uninspiring forward he was in 2008. Shooting over .500 from the field and shooting with extra confidence, Yi has been exactly what the doctor ordered for this team, especially considering that Devin Harris has been battling injuries lately.
His first 20-point [...]
