Brooklyn Nets Intend to Release Marcus Thornton

One day before the trade deadline, the Brooklyn Nets finally made a deal, which involved swingman Bojan Bogdanovic. In return, the Nets got Marcus Thornton, Andrew Nicholson, and the Wizards’ 2017 first-round draft pick.

The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Nets do not plan on keeping Thornton, who spent half of the 2013-14 season in Brooklyn.

At the time, the Nets received Thornton in exchange for Jason Terry and Reggie Evans. The addition of Thornton gave Brooklyn a major boost, which was most evident in Thornton’s game log in the first half of March 2014.
