Devin Harris set for Nets' debut

Devin Harris, whom the Nets acquired when Jason Kidd was traded to the Mavericks on Feb.19, could make his Nets debut Thursday at the Meadowlands after taking part in his first full practice with the team on Wednesday.

Harris hasn't played since Jan.27 due to a sprained ankle. But he did everything he had to do in practice - running, cutting, full contact - and will be evaluated before tip-off of tonight's game against the Bucks. If all is well, Harris will likely come off the bench behind Marcus Williams. Eventually, he will take over as the starter.

If Harris does play tonight, he won't be trying to fill the sizeable shoes left behind by Kidd, who led the Nets to consecutive NBA Finals in his first two years and six straight playoff appearances.

"It's not hard for me to be me. I wake up and I'm me every day," said Harris, who played 3-1/2 seasons in Dallas. "I just try to do my best. That's always worked for me, just go out and give it my all."

I hope he does great... I really like Devin, hes one of the few Mavericks off of our roster that im sure I will always be a fan of. With that being said, I dont expect him to do much in New Jersey

If he somehow made it to the FInals and beat us, would you still be a fan of him?

I still have a soft spot for Nash, but it's hard to when he has had the opportunity to take the Mavericks ring..

Harris is not going to get past Boston, Orlando or Detroit with the same cast of players that Kidd could not take to the finals (w/o Martin).
