The Brooklyn Nets continued their intriguing offseason with the acquisition of backup wingman Wayne Ellington, signing him to a deal worth approximately $1.9 million dollars next season. After losing out on re-signing knockdown shooters Alan Anderson and Mirza Teletovic, adding Ellington is critical for the Nets in terms of keeping viable perimeter talent around Joe Johnson on the wing.
