The Nets signed a veteran point guard in Travis Best today.

'Best spent last season with the Dallas Mavericks, averaging 2.8 points and 1.8 assists in 61 games backing up Steve Nash. The 5-11 Best has averaged 7.7 points and 3.6 assists in 632 career games with Indiana, Chicago, Miami and Dallas.'

'Kidd, the Nets' All-Star point guard, is expected to be out until December after undergoing knee surgery.'

The Nets need some veteran help after trading away Kerry Kittles and Kenyon Martin for future salary cap flexibility.
