The New Jersey Nets have signed free agent guard Keith Bogans.

To make room on the roster the Nets have waived forward Larry Owens.

"Keith will give us defensive toughness and experience,” said King. “He will add depth and versatility to our perimeter."

Bogans, an eight-year NBA veteran, started in all 82 games for the Chicago Bulls in 2010-11, averaging 4.4 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 17.8 minutes per game.
