A few weeks before the 2008 NBA trade deadline, the Dallas Mavericks traded away Devin Harris to the New Jersey Nets for Jason Kidd. At the time, many wondered if the Mavericks gave up too much to acquire the aging Kidd. Early signs show that the Nets got the better end of the deal.
Right away, Harris scored 21 points and had five assists in his first home game for the Nets. He continued to shine the entire last part of the season, but it wasn't enough as the Nets missed the playoffs for the first time in seven seasons.
The following season saw Harris picked up right where he left off. A few of his highlights that season included scoring 47 points against the Phoenix Suns, and scoring 41 points as well as dishing out 13 assists against his former team, the Dallas Mavericks.
With such a great start to the season, Harris was rewarded with a reserve spot on the 2009 Eastern Conference All-Star team. Fans got the pleasure of seeing Harris on a national stage, showing off his overall athleticism and speed.
The New Jersey Nets star continued to carry the load, despite few wins. They continued to spiral out of playoff contention, but Harris played well.
One of the highlights of the season came in late February when Devin Harris made the shot now referred to as the "Miracle in the Swamp." The shot was from 47 feet away as time expired to beat the 76ers, 98-96.
The Nets are still young and in the process of rebuilding, but the crafty point guard who played his college basketball at Wisconsin will be the leader of the team in 2009-2010. Those looking for New Jersey Nets tickets this season will have to make sure to keep their eyes on the talented player.
Make sure you catch this team before their move as well. New Jersey Nets tickets will likely become Brooklyn tickets within the next couple years. Check them out in 2009-2010.
