The 2008–09 New Jersey Nets season was the 42nd season of the franchise, and their 33rd in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Key dates
- June 26: The 2008 NBA draft took place in New York City.
- July 1: The free agency period started.
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. 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. Jefferson left after seven years at New Jersey where he ended up as the Nets third all-time leading scorer in franchise history. On July 21, the Nets acquired Orlando Magic guard Keyon Dooling in exchange for cash considerations.
