The 1977âÂÂ78 New Jersey Nets season was the Nets' 11th in franchise history, their second in the NBA, and their first in New Jersey, following their relocation from nearby Long Island.
This would become the only NBA draft that the Nets would participate in under the New York Nets name. Following this draft's conclusion, the team would move to nearby New Jersey and play there up until 2012, where they would move to Brooklyn to become the Brooklyn Nets since then.
