The formation of the other 65,438+02 players is still a work in progress for the Nets. On the first day when the free agent re-signed Blake Griffin, he lost the more valuable Jeff Green. At the same time, which players and draft picks may return to Brooklyn to sign and trade with Washington, D.C., is still up in the air (the Nets are also considering).
The Nets got their people after re-signing Griffin. Griffin played the best basketball in the last 26 games he signed with Brooklyn last season, averaging 10 points and 4.7 rebounds, and even dunked several times. Adrian Wernarovsky broke the news
The agent of six-time All-Star Blake Griffin told ESPN that he had agreed to sign a one-year contract with the Brooklyn Nets.

Griffin is probably the lowest veteran (maybe they gave him a $5.9 million middle-level exception), which is good for him, because the Pistons still received the dinner tag (they will pay him $28.9 million for the acquisition, minus any poor Nets throwing Griffin).
The bigger concern is that Jeff Green signed a contract with Denver Nuggets. Green is the best fifth Beatle among Durant/Harden/Owen/Joe Harris-last season, the quartet with Green scored 26.7 pounds (the sample size is small, but the eye test of the best lineup with goal difference).
