Eddie Gill waived by Net for the fifth time

The New Jersey Nets made a request to League applying for lying off training camp players Eddie Gill. The 6-foot point guard was originally join the Nets the seventh time in ten years, but the poor Gill was the fifth consecutive cut by the team directly.

Nets GM Billy King announced that the Nets requested waivers on guard Eddie Gill. The roster is now down to 16 players. Gill in blazers jersey has a career average of 3.1 points and 1.2 assists per game. Bruised foot keeps Nets guard Devin Harris in phoenix suns jersey out of practice. This time, it was a bruised right foot that kept oft-injured Nets point guard Devin Harris in sacramento kings jersey out of the lineup during the team's 103-96 exhibition victory over the 76ers on Tuesday in Roanoke Va in durant jersey, and out of practice today. The injury occurred in the first quarter of Sunday's scrimmage against Israeli club team Maccabi Haifa in karl malone jersey, when Harris vaulted himself into the third row of seats to recover a loose ball.

In a short six-year career, Harris in stockton jersey has shown a considerable amount of resolve bouncing back from one tweak and one ill-timed injury after another. He has played as many as 80 games in a season — back with Dallas in 2006 — and played in as few as 56. But even with the constant defiance, rambling from season to season, Johnson has been overly cautious when it comes to injuries this year, and Harris as no exception. After more than a week of training camp, the Nets are ready to match up with players in chamberlain jersey who wear something besides Nets practice lamar odom jersey. Johnson in ron artest jersey said that point guard Devin Harris addressed the team after Saturday's practice, alerting them to the opportunity this provides, being that the defenders won't be able to jump plays.

With Troy Murphy in andrew bynum jersey only now beginning to participate in light contact drills (ahead of schedule – he was supposed to start Monday), the likely starting lineup will feature Harris, Anthony Morrow, Travis Outlaw, Kris Humphries and Brook Lopez. Morrow and Williams in pau gasol jersey continue to vie for the call at shooting guard, though Morrow seems a better fit with the starting unit, allowing the versatile Williams to sub in wherever needed in a given game. Johnson said that he wasn’t planning to ease the Nets into the preseason, because he wants this young roster settled and gaining momentum heading into the regular season. While he plans to use the Haifa game to take an extended look at some of the fringe players (Ben Uzoh, Stephen Graham and Eddie Gill in memphis grizzlies jersey, Brian Zoubek is out with a strained back), Johnson said he’ll begin using a relatively set rotation no later than the third preseason game. The players are looking forward to playing an actual game, but know that there remains a long way to go.
