Nets add Keyon Dooling
Quote:
Any program from a Nets' game this past season already is horribly dated. And it's going to get worse within a few days when Keyon Dooling is added after a sign-and-trade deal with Orlando is finalized.
Dooling, 28, a 6-foot-3 combo guard, will fill the New Jersey Nets most conspicuous need as a backup at both guard positions. The Nets and Magic have worked out the trade that still needs league approval. The Magic get a $3.3 million trade exception that the Nets picked up in the Jason Kidd deal plus cash. Dooling, including three draft picks certain to make the roster, represents the eighth new player imported since draft day. He will bring defense, versatility and experience to an overall very young team.
"It's exciting," coach Lawrence Frank said, regarding the personnel turnover. "With so much new, you've got everyone starting from square one."
Dooling, a 6.8-point per game career scorer, will get a three-year deal, potentially worth more than $10 million.

I really didnt see the need for this sign and trade as I thought M. Williams (who was traded to Golden State) was a solid backup. The last couple of move the Nets have made are a HUGE mistake. |
