Courtesy of NetsDaily.com, they predict the Nets to be in the thick of things among the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference elites this season. Afterall, the Atlantic has to be one of the worst divisions in the game.

Nevertheless, I expect Kidd to be his normal self and lead them to victory. I'm not a Nets fan but I'd be excited if I was one. Watching Kidd help tutor and mentor the young rookie point guard in Marcus Williams should be fun to watch. Don't forget about guys like Jefferson, Carter and the young big guy in Krstic.

They should be able to surpass the 50 win mark this year.

Do you think they're an easy lock for a top 3 seed in the East this season?

Lets not go over the top here, EmpireWF!

They still have some minor problems to work out before the season.

But, they will do well.
