Jordan Farmar -- who has a one-year player option on his contract worth $4.25 million next season – has fallen out of the Nets rotation in favor of Sundiata Gaines, MarShon Brooks and DeShawn Stevenson.
 
Farmar, who is averaging 8.3 minutes per game after 24.6 last season, has deferred all questions about his lack of playing time to coach Avery Johnson, who said this during today’s shootaround.
 
"We think we've found some sort of a rotation, and unfortunately everybody can't be in it. …We have an overabundance of two guards right now. It’s just an unfortunate that everybody can’t play. But since this is a season of a lot of games in a short period of time everybody has to stay ready. It’s the way it is. It’s the ebbs and flows of the season and it’s my job to make a decision and sometimes everybody’s not going to be playing. And guys just have to stay ready. At some points of the season we’ll have three games in three nights. Maybe that third night it’ll be a different guy.”
