The 2007–08 New Jersey Nets season was the 41st season, 32nd in the NBA basketball in East Rutherford, New Jersey. In midseason, All-Star point guard Jason Kidd was shipped to the Dallas Mavericks, the team where he began his career. He would later help the Mavericks win their first ever NBA championship in 2011.
