Nets rookie guard Hassan Adams was acquitted Wednesday of drunken driving.

Adams, who starred at Arizona and was a second-round draft pick of the Nets, was arrested March 5 and cited with speeding, DUI and DUI with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 or greater.

Jay Williams' Father Believes He Will Be Back

Oct 23, 2006 5:39 AM

Jay Williams' father appears to have taken the news of his son's waiver by the Nets as a positive, according to a report by the Newark Star-Ledger.  Willaims is trying to make it back  to the NBA after a serious motorcycle accident back in 2003.

"Oh no, this is just another step in the right direction. There's one more to go. He's almost there," David Williams said from his home in Plainfield. "This was a victory because everyone that didn't get a chance to see him play full court -- because all of those tryouts (Williams had) were three players in a half-court setting -- saw him.

"I told him that before Friday's game (against the 76ers). This is a chance to show what you can do. It's not just the Nets. It's the whole world that is watching."

Carter Set To Back Up Kidd At Point?

Oct 21, 2006 9:08 AM

Should rookie Marcus Williams not be ready to go when the Nets regular season starts on November 1, the team's best scorer may be asked to help out Jason Kidd at point guard.

In Wednesday's preseason loss at Boston, Vince Carter slid over from shooting guard to give Kidd a rest.

He did the same in Friday's 102-92 win over the 76ers at Continental Arena. Carter will continue to do that until Marcus Williams comes back, and perhaps even after.

"It's always something I wanted to do," said Carter.

"I felt comfortable with it. Knowing the offense and being around it a little bit really helps."

Nets Have No Room For Walsh, Storey

Oct 21, 2006 5:46 AM

The future of either Matt Walsh and Awvee Storey in New Jersey depends on what the team does with guard Jeff McInnis, Dave D'Alessandro of the Newark Star-Ledger writes.

With 15 guaranteed contracts already, both players face being cut despite strong training camps.

"You never know in this world what can happen," Lawrence Frank said before last night's 102-92 triumph over the Sixers at Continental Airlines Arena. "Awvee's been told three years in a row he has no shot to make a team, and two years in a row he made it. Same thing with Matt -- Matt's an NBA player. You never know what can happen, whether it's here or someone else. If it doesn't work out here because of our guaranteed contract situation, you do everything in your power, and talk to everyone you know who might have an opening. But both those guys are NBA players."

A buyout agreement with McInnis would see the team gain one roster spot.

"I was hoping the McInnis situation got worked out by now and there would be a spot," Walsh said before last night's preseason game against Philadelphia. "But any time you have a chance to come to an NBA camp, you do it. I was going overseas -- I wasn't coming to a camp -- but this was a chance to make an impression, and you don't know how many other chances you'll get to do that. So I figured I'd come here, leave it all on the court. I don't regret my decision at all."
