What Nets did and didn't do on Day 1 of free agency

What Nets did and didn't do on Day 1 of free agency centered on agreements already lined up, while a larger trade remained delayed. Brooklyn moved forward with deals that were not surprising, but a key multi-team transaction to send Nic Claxton to Chicago and bring Julius Randle to Brooklyn, including a pick exchange involving Minnesota, did not materialize as expected. The gap was traced to the inclusion of Gueye, a 6-foot-9 wing, in the trade package; after arrival in Minnesota, he is expected to be waived. Rui Hachimura signed with the Los Angeles Clippers, and Denver forward Peyton Watson remained a restricted free agent, leaving outcomes dependent on offers or a sign-and-trade. Brooklyn also formalized Ellis and extensions for Day’Ron Sharpe and Josh Minott.
