Apparently the Nets have wanted Keyon Dooling for years, and now it appears they have their man. The Newark Star-Ledger is reporting that New Jersey has agreed to a sign-and-trade deal with the Magic for Dooling:
An eight-year veteran, Dooling would be acquired by making use of a $3.3 million trade exception the Nets obtained in the Jason Kidd deal last February. That will now be transferred to the Magic, who will prepare a two-year contract that calls for a $3.3 million salary next year and a $3.5 million salary for 2009-10, with a partially-guaranteed third season that will pay him a pittance.
The process is expected to be completed by mid-week, after Orlando prepares the contract and the Nets give the 6-foot-3 Dooling his physical. But the process won’t begin until the teams run the trade past the league Monday morning.
With Devin Harris, Marcus Williams and Dooling now in the mix, Marcus is clearly the odd man out (btw, Williams has been doing work on the NYC playground scene this summer). There has to be some kind of minor trade in the works to move him to a team that needs a PG…

Wasn’t Marcus Williams supposed to have been a can’t miss prospect? Wasn’t the teams that passed on him supposed to have been regretting their decision by now? What happened?
