Brooklyn Nets receive: Mario Chalmers, 2015 second round draft pick

Miami Heat receive: Jarrett Jack, cash considerations

Why the Nets would do it: The addition of  Mario Chalmers’  helps the Nets shed cap space while adding a capable backup point guard. In this year’s deep draft, the Nets would love to get their hands on another second round draft pick, even if that means that the team would have to spend a little more money.

Why the Heat would do it: Mario Chalmers’ shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage have been down and it is clear that he is not going to be anything more than a role player in the NBA. Jarrett Jack is a definite upgrade for the team and the uncertainty of Wade and Dragic makes him an excellent addition to the team.

From the archive. This was filed on 2 June 2015, and it is short because it was short then: a note put up while a story was still moving, not a piece written to be read years afterwards. It is kept at the address it went up at, in the wording it went up in.

It sits on Opinion, which holds 70 pieces in all. The desk is the right place to read around a note this short: it brings the days either side of it within reach, and the longer pieces on the same subject alongside.

Season: 2014-15. That matters more than it looks on a note this short, because the roster, the contracts and the injuries it assumes as background all belong to that year and to no other.

A short page is not a broken page. This one is here because the link to it is here, and because a reader who followed that link is owed what was at the other end of it rather than an apology and a front page.
