Overview

  • NetsDaily reports Ricky Council IV will not sign with Brooklyn and will miss training camp due to an injury.
  • The Nets never announced a contract despite an Aug. 1 report from ESPN's Shams Charania that Council had agreed to a one-year deal.
  • ClutchPoints counts 22 contracts when including Exhibit 10 additions Fanbo Zeng and Grant Nelson, saying NBA camp rules would force one waiver before Thursday.
  • Nets Wire lists 20 players under contract and projects Zeng and Nelson vying for the final two-way slot, underscoring conflicting roster counts.
  • Brooklyn has used sign-and-waive and Exhibit 10 deals to manage the salary floor, with Spotrac's Keith Smith noting the team is about $2 million over and still must waive at least two before the regular season.
