Joe Harris: Signing with Nets was practical, not sentimental
When Joe Harris signed his new, two-year, $16 million deal with the Nets, there were reports he could have possibly gotten more elsewhere. Sean Harris said as much in last Wednesday’s conference call with season ticket holders. “You get a guy like Joe who could’ve gone elsewhere for more money,” Marks said. “That makes us feel special that a guy is saying I appreciate what you guys have done, but I want to come back here and help you build this, not give up on Brooklyn. He’s here and he wants to be a part of it.” Harris appreciates that, as he told Brian Lewis on Tuesday, but...

Will Treveon Graham be the Nets next reclamation project?
The Nets pride themselves on their ability to take players other teams have dumped, traded or simply tossed away. They’ve done it with young players like Joe Harris, Spencer Dinwiddie and before that Sean Kilpatrick. It’s just about turning marginal players into contributors. It’s helpful in recruiting, in talking with players ... and their agents. “Agents want their guys around our coaching staff, around our performance team. They see bodies changing, abilities realized. So that’s certainly a selling point,” said Sean Marks in his conference call on Wednesday. Harris of...

With signing of Ed Davis and others, Nets put finishing touches on off-season
The Nets officially signed Ed Davis, the veteran 6’10” power forward, on Monday, giving him the $4.4 million room exception for one year. It’s (presumably) one of their last moves of their month-long remake of the roster. Still on the agenda, officially re-signing Joe Harris and signing Treveon Graham, the 6’5” Charlotte forward. The Nets delayed all three deals until they could manipulate the cap a little and make other moves. The Nets can also sign two two-way contracts between now and the opening of camp on September 25. Assuming this is it, the Nets will have added eight...
