    The following from the Miami Herald:

    "While the process of re-signing O'Neal has officially begun, so have free agent negotiations around the league, and it appears inevitable that guard Keyon Dooling will sign elsewhere.

    Nets head coach Lawrence Frank flew to Miami to meet with Dooling on Friday, and the team is interested in signing him as a combo guard to play behind and beside Jason Kidd. The Heat, meanwhile, has accepted that Dooling will sign elsewhere and won't pursue the guard who averaged 5.2 points and 1.8 assists in 74 regular-season games last season."

    Dooling was a great spark off the bench for the Heat and should fit in well into the Nets system. I wish he would of stayed with the Heat.

    The Nets arent planning to trade VC are they? [​IMG]

    First they draft a SG, now they are after Dooling, a SG off of the bench.

    NO, Keyon Dooling can play PG. So he is going to play backup PG mostly if he signs with us, behind Jason Kidd. Dooling is only 25 and can shoot the ball good. He should be a huge upgrade at the backup Pg position, and could fill in for Kidd when he is tired!!

    I would like to see Keyon come to the Nets!

    NJ needs to be looking for height, first and foremost...they should be targeting Swift, and then Abdur-Rahim and then Marshall...they have plenty of guards/swingmen with Carter/Jefferson/Wright...Jacque Vaughn is a capable backup to play 10-12 minutes a game...

    He"s a good bench player and they need bench points if they get him.. that would be pretty good for the nets
