The New Jersey Nets are actually an up and coming basketball team these days. This is the same team who last year broke the all time NBA record for the most losses in a season. The team started this year with the same core team as last year and they were on their way to another terrible season. With a new owner who has plenty of money to spend the team was looking to get some better players.
Over the off-season they tried to get a superstar player but none of them wanted to come to one of the cellars of the league. So they did the next best thing once the season began, they tried to trade for a superstar player. They tried there hardest to get Carmelo Anthony for months. They put together a better offer for him than any other team did, but in the end Carmelo had his heart set on the New York Knicks. It was looking like the Nets would have to wait until this off-season to start the transformation of a winning team, but then they surprised the basketball world an traded for Deron Williams. Williams had suddenly became available after some off the court issues with the Utah Jazz coaching staff and management.
Williams has given this team a new leash on life. They are playing good basketball for the first time in a long time. Now the question is will he stay, as his contact is up at the end of the next year. Either way the New Jersey Nets are in for a very entertaining next season.
