Nets have great opportunity to run wild. Scary thought: Kidd coming up court with Carter, Jefferson on wings.
The Sporting News, Commentary: Sean Deveney
Did the Carter trade come in time for the Nets to make the playoffs?
The Nets have time. It's nearly impossible for any team to fall out of the Eastern Conference playoff race. New Jersey can be patient with Kidd's knee, continue limiting his minutes and hope that he is at full strength in time for a playoff run. The Nets can make up for their rebounding deficiency with Kidd and Carter, who can be one of the league's best pairs of backcourt rebounders. They can work Carter slowly into the offense -- Carter, too, has suffered through knee problems and has not been healthy for any of the past four seasons.
