The chance of Lucious Harris returning to the Nets may have been given a few boosts over the weekend when two possible free-agent shooters, Anthony Peeler and Eric Piatkowski, aligned with other teams.

Peeler, the T-wolves' free agent, is expected to sign with Toronto in a move that likely will free up Lindsay Hunter from the Raptors' roster while Piatkowski signed with Houston after divorcing himself from the Clippers. Along with the likes of Walt Williams, Peeler and Piatkowski were two names the Nets considered in the event they didn't re-sign Harris.

The Nets' initial free agent offer to Harris was rejected, while a second offer is being considered. Harris, 32, after a strong start, finished shooting .413 last season. Harris' agent, Jerome Stanley, said the situation is "up to the Nets to make it happen."
