AUGUST 8: The Nets have officially signed Bembry, the club announced today in a press release.
AUGUST 6: The Nets have reached a one-year agreement with free agent swingman DeAndre’ Bembry, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (Twitter link). While terms of the deal weren’t reported, Brooklyn is currently limited to minimum-salary commitments.
Bembry, who joins Patty Mills and James Johnson as veteran free agents to commit to Brooklyn this offseason, spent the 2020/21 season with the Raptors. He appeared in 51 games, averaging 5.7 points on 51% shooting from the floor and 26% shooting from deep, providing defensive versatility and athleticism off the bench. He was waived on Tuesday before his 2021/22 salary became guaranteed.
The 6’5″ Bembry was also the No. 21 pick of the 2016 NBA Draft. He spent the first four years of his career with Atlanta, mostly playing off the bench.
In addition to Bembry, Mills and Johnson, the Nets also reached new deals with two of their own free agents this summer: Blake Griffin and Bruce Brown. The team has built a formidable roster around the likes of Kyrie Irving, James Harden and Kevin Durant as it seeks its first-ever NBA championship.
Trying to corner the market on DeAndres, I see. However, there’s no chance Ayton will be among them…
What about Liggins? Is he available?
he is in mexico
We need a 5 on 5 with the Jalens vs DeAndres.
Bembry was a good bench guy for Raps. Sometimes tried to do too much. Sad to see him go.
This Lakers v Nets championship is gunna b fun…
Westbrook, Ellington, Lebron, AD, Howard
Irving, harden, KD, Griffen, Jordan
Bembry plays D. Good signing.
The bucks still need a small army to guard Durant
