    The Brooklyn Nets have swooped in to sign former No. 1 overall pick Andrea Bargnani, swiping him away at the 11th hour from the Sacramento Kings.

    The Nets announced Sunday via their team Twitter feed that they have come to terms with ‎Bargnani, who became a free agent July 1 after playing out the last season of his contract with the New York Knicks.

    Sources told ESPN.com the Kings were actually offering more money over the next two seasons than Brooklyn, but Bargnani preferred the fit with the Nets and opted for a two-year veterans minimum deal that includes a player option to return to free agency after the coming season.

    The Kings, sources say, believed a deal was imminent Sunday, after ESPN.com reported Saturday that Sacramento and Bargnani were in advanced negotiations and closing in on a deal.
