On draft night, Neil Olshey only calls the Sacramento Kings. When free agency starts, he only interacts with the Brooklyn Nets or players associated with the organization.
For the second year running, the Blazers and Nets swapped players. Instead of a salary dump trade, the teams exchanged free agents this year.
Much to Portland fans’ chagrin, Ed Davis signed with Brooklyn for one year worth $4.4 million.
So to get back at them for taking our player, Neil Olshey signed Nets shooting guard Nik Stauskas. Stauskas will earn around $1.7 million in a one-year minimum contract.
