Any teams that doubles its win output over the previous season has got to feel pretty good about itself, but the Nets – who went from 12 victories in last year’s disaster of a season to 24 this year – don’t quite look at it that way. Two wins and 14 losses over the final month of the season (heading into tonight’s Hail Mary in Chicago) can do that to you.
New Jersey and its rich Russian owner figured it had turned a corner when it traded for Utah point guard Deron Williams. But Williams hasn’t panned out much better than Devon Harris, who went to the Jazz in that deal along with talented young big Derrick Favors. The Nets also threw in two No. 1 draft choices. It didn’t help when Williams suffered an injured wrist and was lost for a season a few weeks back.
Making matters even worse is the fact that Williams, whom the Nets want to build around and become the face of the franchise, has not shown that he has any interest in signing a long-term deal and staying with the team, which will be moving to Brooklyn in a few years. Losing D-Will would be a public relations disaster for the Nets, who just can’t seem to catch a break as they maneuver to scratch and claw their way to relevance in an Eastern Conference that seems to be getting better and better.
