Call him a stretch 5. Justin Hamilton, a seven-footer with a sweet stroke, signed with the Nets Monday. The Nets didn't release the contract details, but according to reports, he received the room exception, roughly $6 million over two years.

Hamilton, drafted by the 76ers, has played or was under contract with Miami, New Orleans, Phoenix and Minnesota. Last season, he played in the Spanish League with Valencia.

"Justin is an energetic big with the ability to stretch the floor," said Sean Marks. "He is coming off a successful season in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues and will add depth to our frontcourt rotation.
