Nene has found a new home. After over four years in Washington, he’s heading to Houston on a very team-friendly deal:
Washington’s moves in free agency this summer made it clear they were headed in a new direction. After trying and failing to snag Al Horford, they spent big money Ian Mahinmi and Jason Smith to shore up their depth at center.
As we wrote last month, Nene was very effective as a backup center last season and Houston will likely be very happy with what they get from him at such a cheap deal.
