Shortly after signing the two guards, the Nets have requested waivers on Bryce Brown and Josh Gray, the team announced today.
As we noted in our initial story on Brown and Gray signing with Brooklyn, the moves were made for G League purposes. The Long Island Nets recently acquired Brown’s returning rights from the Westchester Knicks and secured Gray’s returning rights in a deal with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.
By signing both players to Exhibit 10 contracts, the Nets ensured that Brown and Gray will earn bonuses worth up to $50K as long as they report to Long Island and spend at least 60 days in the G League.
Brooklyn now has two openings on its 20-man preseason roster.
This is separate from the waiving of Sumner, correct? I believe his spot had to be available for them to be signed to Exhibit 10 contracts. There’s no news on where Sekou Doumbouya would go next, but I could see the Nets offering him the open two-way slot.
Yeah, the Nets had 19 players, waived Sumner to get to 18, signed these two guys to get to 20, and now they’re back to 18.
My read of the CBA is that Doumbouya can’t be re-signed by the Nets, even if it’s a two-way deal. Have you seen otherwise?
Bulls should be ALL over this. Gives them another defensive first guard who can help their rotations while Williams is out.
You’re thinking of a different guy…Bryce Brown is a rookie
At first, I thought the same thing. Lol
LMAO my fault. Smh thanks for the clarification I was like ????? Did they waive him for no reason? Lmao
Right, that other guy is Bruce. Very easy to mix up.
