2:30pm: If the Nets sign Blatche, the contract probably wouldn't include a guarantee, a source told Mike Mazzeo of ESPNNewYork.com. The team is unlikely to sign anyone else to a guaranteed deal for the rest of the offseason, Mazzeo hears. Nets coach Avery Johnson will be at the meeting with Blatche.
12:39pm: The Nets are set to meet with free agent Andray Blatche in Houston, Texas this weekend, two sources tell Howard Beck of the New York Times. The forward has been working out with a number of other NBA players under the guidance of John Lucas.
The Wizards cut the troubled big man earlier this summer and will be on the hook for the $23.4MM he is owed over the course of the next three years. Given the time he has spent on the open market combined with his up-and-down history, Blatche is widely expected to sign for the veteran minimum where ever he goes.
