Lopez and Young hit open market
Nets Eager to Bring Back Free Agent Center and Power Forward
Now that he’s done with his draft night wheeling and dealing, Nets general manager Billy King can officially get down to his main order of offseason business.
King has been adamant that the Nets’ plan for the immediate future relies heavily on the signing of recently declared free agents Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young, both of whom were eligible to receive offers as of 12:01 a.m. Wednesday morning.
Though neither player can be officially inked until July 9, according to NBA guidelines, King is expected to at least reach a verbal agreement with his 7-foot former All-Star center and slashing power forward within the next several days, if not sooner.
