Nets will take on the following dead money for Jevon Carter (assuming he clears waivers):
21-22: $3,650,000
22-23: $3,925,000
Not a massive amount, considering Brooklyn is a title contender and tax team for as long as KD is there. – 1:04 PM

If it’s Jevon Carter released I’m not sure you can expect to find anyone better that’s available. George’s health becomes even more important now – 12:55 PM

Shams Charania: Just in: Goran Dragic is signing with the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / February 21, 2022
Word is Dragic was determined to spend at least a week evaluating the teams chasing him the hardest (Milwaukee, Brooklyn, Chicago, Golden State and the LA Clippers) and one source close to the process described as him as “really open-minded” to the pitches he’s getting. The Bucks notably have a significant backcourt role to offer, on top of their proven championship stock, while the Nets have Coach Steve Nash, who mentored Dragic in Phoenix when the Slovenian broke into the NBA, entrenched as their lead recruiter. League sources say Nash registered key aspects of the Nets’ bid to Dragic on Friday as Brooklyn also maintains hope that Kyrie Irving will be more available for the stretch run if the vaccine mandate that has ruled him out of home games all season is finally lifted in New York City. -via marcstein.substack.com / February 20, 2022
