"They're good people and good players, so they fit what we're trying to build. For me, it's about getting to know them and giving them the opportunity without putting limitations on who I think they are. Show me what you can bring to the group, and if you can be part of this group, you can be a future Net."
"The conversations have been good, brief. There's been a lot going on, but [Jordi] told me he wants me here, that he sees a lot more in me and what I can bring to this team. For me it's about getting back to myself and who I know I can be. That's super important in this league and it's what I work for and what I'm trying to show again."
With the trade deadline behind them, the Nets introduced Ochai Agbaji and Josh Minott and beat the Washington Wizards 127-113, improving to 14-37 and snapping a three-game skid. Cam Thomas, Haywood Highsmith and Tyrese Martin were waived and Hunter Tyson departed after a brief appearance, creating roster openings. Head coach Jordi Fernández said the newcomers fit the team's culture and deserve opportunities without limitations. Agbaji emphasized defensive priorities and aims to regain his shooting after averaging 4.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 42 games and seeing his three-point rate drop from 39.9% to 18.5% this season. He reunited with Jalen Wilson.
