The #Nets have reached an agreement in principle with free agent guard Wayne Ellington, GM Billy King announced today.

— Brooklyn Nets (@BrooklynNets) July 9, 2015

Last season, Ellington played a large role for the Lakers, starting 36 games and averaging career highs of 10.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists. With the departure of Alan Anderson and Mirza Teletovic, Ellington provides the Nets with the outside shooting the team desperately needs.

From the archive. Filed 9 July 2015 and left as filed. What is above is the whole of what was published at this address that day: nothing has been cut out of it and nothing has been written into it.

The piece lives on Nets, and the section index lists that desk next to the other seven with what each of them holds.

By season it belongs to 2015-16, which accounts for 35 of the 130 pieces on that desk. Read next to the rest of that season it makes considerably more sense than it does alone, because most notes of this size are one line in a story that ran for weeks.

Kept deliberately. When the site was re-set every address was carried over intact, including the ones behind two-line filings, because a link that breaks costs more than a page that is short.
