The 2007-08 New Jersey Nets season marked a period of transition and challenges. The team finished with a 34-48 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2000-01 season. A pivotal moment came in February 2008 when the Nets traded longtime star Jason Kidd to the Dallas Mavericks, a move signaling a shift towards rebuilding. In return, they acquired Devin Harris, who showed promise as a young point guard.
Vince Carter led the team in scoring, averaging 21.3 points per game, while Richard Jefferson contributed significantly with 22.6 points per game. Despite their efforts, the team struggled with consistency and defense, ranking 28th in the league in points allowed per game. Coach Lawrence Frank faced difficulties integrating new players and maintaining competitiveness, leading to an underwhelming season. The Nets’ performance underscored the need for a strategic overhaul to regain their competitive edge in the Eastern Conference.
- Regular Season Record: 34-48
