He was hoping for a four-year deal worth more than the $1.08 million he made last season. He ended up with only half as long a contract, but did get the raise he was looking for.</div></p> And another option signs elsewhere. Don't know how serious anything was, but I know there had been mention of him.</p>
Maybe he was waiting to see what the Nets were going to do and when he found out we went with Hite he signed with the Hornets?
He got to start for New Orleans a lot of games.</p> I think that'd be an incentive to return.</p> </p>
Brevin Knight is better anyway. Too bad the Nets won't pursue him. He'll probably end up signing with the Clippers.
2 mil is too much for a 2nd backup point guard.</p> Too bad though, he looked like an interesting player. </p>
I really can't see Brevin signing for 1 million and change a year (our MLE thats left after Magloire's 4), so I think thats an unrealistic option.
