LAS VEGAS — To a man, the Nets are nice guys — sometimes too nice on the court.
They got bullied inside all too often last season and were in desperate need of an enforcer in the paint and strength on the glass. In desperate need of somebody like Ed Davis.
Davis brought those traits to the Trail Blazers, and the Nets are counting on him to bring them to Brooklyn after filling a need with one of the NBA’s better backup centers for a bargain one-year, $4.4 million deal.
“We’ve been big fans of Ed Davis for quite some time,” general manager Sean Marks said.
