Sportsbook.com NBA Basketball Betting Odds – New Jersey Nets Odds To Win NBA Title – 100/1
Say it and repeat it often – it is NOT about this season.
Clearing cap space for an expected run at a premier free agent next summer, New Jersey completed it dump of quality veterans by sending Vince Carter to Orlando in the offseason.
Key players added – Courtney Lee, Rafer Alston
Key players lost – Vince Carter
Hard to believe the core of this team only a few years ago consisted of Carter, Richard Jefferson and Jason Kidd.
What’s left is point guard Devin Harris and guys whose careers have hit a plateau (Keyon Dooling, Rafer Alston) or veterans who need to start playing to save their careers (Yi Jianlian, Sean Williams, Bobby Simmons).
Harris is definitely the centerpiece, and newcomer Courtney Lee will also start in the backcourt. Rookie Terrence Williams will be given every opportunity to win starting job at small forward, while center Brook Lopez hopes to build on last year’s solid rookie season (13 points, 8 rebounds).
Surprising stat: Devin Harris shot only 29 percent from 3-point territory last season.
Strengths: Soon-to-be owner Russian Mikhail Prokhorov has deep pockets.
Weaknesses: Since ownership realized that it couldn’t win a title with the Kidd-Jefferson-Carter mix, the roster has been in constant flux.
Playoffs? Three of four teams in the East would need to underachieve to open the door for the Nets.
