Key dates

Offseason

On June 26, it was announced the Nets had officially traded Richard Jefferson in exchange for Milwaukee Bucks players Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons.^[1] After missing the playoffs last season and going no further than the Eastern Conference Semi-finals the past five years, the Nets needed to change.
