The opposite ends of Sean Marks summer — putting aside the KD and Kyrie dual and interlocking crises — were inking Nic Claxton to a two-year $20 million ($17.5 million guaranteed) deal and giving a camp invite to Yuta Watanabe that won’t be guaranteed for another three weeks.
So far, so good. Both Claxton and Watanabe have been big deals for the Nets with Claxton being the rim protector and defender the Nets had long believed in and Watanabe shockingly becoming the best 3-point shooter not just on the team but in the league ... and a clutch performer as well.
