Nets waive Alan Williams who heads off to China
Long Island NetsIn a surprise move, the Nets waived two-way player Alan Williams, who’s led the G League in rebounding most of this season for the Long Island Nets. The 6’8”, 261-pound center is headed to China where he’s likely to make a lot more money.
Williams, 25, had played three seasons with the Suns before knee surgery last year and was a surprise two-way signing by the Nets on September 24.
Williams wouldn’t have been able to earn more than $385,000 this season as a two-way even assuming he got called up to the Nets later this season. The G League base salary is only $77,500. In China, he can make several million dollars. The parting was amicable.
