Once Tyler Johnson and Allen Crabbe were out of the picture, the Nets backup plan consisted primarily of handing out one-year deals to veterans to see who can prove themselves and would not hurt team flexibility going forward. The Nets gave one year deals to veterans Luis Scola, Greivis Vasquez, Randy Foye to go along with two-year deals signed earlier by Justin Hamilton, Trevor Booker, Joe Harris and Anthony Bennett. All three have partial guarantees in year two.
Four of those players are the bigs the Nets will have to rely on: Scola, Hamilton, Booker and Bennett, along with Brook Lopez and Chris McCullough That's a majority of the Nets front court.
