EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -With the NBA draft out of the way and some holes seemingly plugged, Rod Thorn and the New Jersey Nets are turning their attention to the free agency market.
Less than a day after the draft, Thorn felt the league-worst Nets got two key pieces by taking power forward Derrick Favors of Georgia Tech with the third pick overall and acquiring the rights to small forward Damion James from Atlanta for the rights to two other draft picks – Jordan Crawford and Tibor Pleiss.
Next on the agenda is July 1, and the long-awaited free agency signing period. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Amare Stoudemire and Chris Bosh might all be available.
The Nets have $27 million to spend in the free agency market and Thorn said Friday that the team will be a player.
