The Norvel Pelle experiment has ended before it really had a chance to get started. The Nets have requested waivers on the big man after signing him to a deal back on January 28. He only got the chance to play in three games, logging 17 minutes in his first appearance, 8:39 in his second and only 1:54 in what proved to be his last time on the floor for the Nets, Brooklyn’s win over the Indiana Pacers.
But that’s not the only move the Nets are making. Despite their lack of depth down low, Brooklyn has decided to add another wing following Pelle’s departure.
The Nets have agreed to a deal with Andre Roberson, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
A NBA All-Defensive second team selection in 2016-17, Roberson missed most of 2017-18 and all of 2018-19 due to injury, making his return in the Disney bubble last season. Roberson had spent his entire career in Oklahoma City before becoming a free agent this past offseason, spending his first two years of his NBA career playing alongside Kevin Durant.
