Jared Sullinger and the Brooklyn Nets are discussing a deal.

Sullinger posted for a photo wearing Nets gear with D'Angelo Russell from their team's practice facility on Tuesday.

"I'm a big fan of the coach (Kenny Atkinson)," agent David Falk said. "He's a great motivator, and they have a great facility.

"(Sullinger) is a talented big man and we're looking into an opportunity."

The Nets have an open roster spot.

Sullinger played 11 games last season with the Toronto Raptors before undergoing foot surgery. Sullinger was waived by the Phoenix Suns following a deadline move.

D'Angelo Russell is resetting his career with the Brooklyn Nets after two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers.

“I want teams to hate us,” Russell said at the Nets Inaugural Basketball Camp at Battery Park City. “We’ve struggled over the last few years in Brooklyn. Teams are used to coming in and taking nights off. I just want to rebuild that and make it a place where people come and say, ‘alright we got the crowd against us. It’s New York.’”

Russell is ready to prove doubters wrong after the Lakers gave up on him to clear cap space.

“It goes back to the chip on my shoulder," said Russell. "I wouldn’t say, ‘it’s D’Angelo’s team’ or anything like that, but I feel like it’s up for everybody to make their imprint as a team. Me coming in with a chip on my shoulder, A.C. [Allen Crabbe] coming in with a chip on his shoulder, I feel like we’re going to blend together and we’re going to be a great team. As long as we’re making strides that’s all I could really ask for.”

The Cleveland Cavaliers will receive the Brooklyn Nets' 2018 first round pick from the Boston Celtics as part of the Kyrie Irving for Isaiah Thomas trade.

Boston has been reluctant to trade away any future traded picks in other trade scenarios over the past few years.

D'Angelo Russell was asked whether he believes he was treated fairly by the Los Angeles Lakers.

“It’s business, man," said Russell. "That’s how I got to look at it. A lot of things happen in this league and you don’t agree with it or however you may feel about it and at the end of the day realize it’s business.”

Russell was asked for his reaction to the trade to the Brooklyn Nets. 

“I was excited. I was excited to get a new opportunity to start over, but it definitely caught me off guard. You see guys get traded you never think it would have to be you until it does. New step for me.”

K.J. McDaniels has agreed upon a partially guaranteed one-year deal with the Toronto Raptors.

McDaniels finished the 16-17 season with the Brooklyn Nets. In 20 games with the Nets, McDaniels averaged 6.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in 14.7 minutes.

The Brooklyn Nets have signed forward Jacob Wiley to a two-way contract. 

Wiley (6’8”, 213) appeared in 34 games for Eastern Washington University last season (2016-17), recording averages of 20.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in 34.3 minutes per contest while shooting 64.3 percent (265-of-412) from the field. He was named the Big Sky Conference Most Valuable Player and earned first team honors after finishing the season ranked first in the conference in field goal percentage, rebounding and blocked shots per game and sixth in scoring. The Newport, Wash., native was also named an honorable mention All-America selection by the Associated Press while ranking sixth in NCAA Division I basketball in field goal percentage and eighth in blocked shots per game.

Wiley also played two seasons (2014-16) for Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho and one season (2012-13) for the University of Montana. He most recently was a member of Brooklyn’s 2017 NBA Summer League team in Las Vegas.

The Brooklyn Nets have received several expressions of interest from parties looking to purchase the franchise. 

Mikhail Prokhorov has hoped to fetch around $2 billion for the franchise.

Alibaba Executive Vice Chairman Joe Tsai has expressed an interest in the team, according to a source.

The majority stake sale comes after a failed attempt to sell a minority interest in the team.

The Brooklyn Nets have signed guards Milton Doyle and Jeremy Senglin. 

Doyle and Senglin were both members of Brooklyn’s 2017 NBA Summer League team in Las Vegas.

Doyle (6’4”, 180) joins the Nets after a four-year career (2013-17) at Loyola University Chicago. In 121 career games (98 starts), Doyle recorded averages of 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 30.4 minutes per contest. He became the first player in program history to earn All-Missouri Valley Conference First Team honors after averaging 15.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 32.6 minutes per game during his senior season, while scoring in double figures in all but one of his 32 games. 

Senglin (6’2”, 190), a native of Arlington, Texas, played four collegiate seasons (2013-17) for Weber State. In 124 career games (123 starts), he averaged 16.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 33.7 minutes per contest. 

The Brooklyn Nets may not have any meaningful cap space until 2020 after taking on the salaries of Allen Crabbe, Timofey Mozgov and DeMarre Carroll this offseason.

"There is a limit to how much dead money you can take," Sean Marks said. "You end up with a roster of 21-year-olds and dead salary."

"We need to show progress," Kenny Atkinson said, "out of respect for ownership."

"If you sign the wrong guy to $15 million or $20 million," Marks said before the Crabbe deal, "they might become untradeable."

Marks and Atkinson are beginning their second full season with the Nets.
