Ed Davis joined the Brooklyn Nets, officially, on July 23, signing a one-year, $4.4 million deal that represents the Nets’ biannual exception.
Davis agreed to the deal within the first hour teams and free agents were able to negotiate on July 1 after playing out a three-year, $20 million deal he signed with the Portland Trail Blazers in 2015.
The signing of Davis certainly isn’t the biggest move of the offseason in the NBA, not even the biggest deal of the offseason for the Nets, but it might turn out to be the most important.
