The New Jersey Nets have reached an agreement with free-agent point guard Jeff McInnis, the New York Post reported Friday.
New Jersey, which has already added Shareef Abdur-Rahim this offseason, will get a two-year, $7 million contract when the CBA is completed and teams are allowed to sign free agents, the paper reported.
"The Nets really did a masterful job with this," said McInnis' agent, Steve Kauffman. "They sought out Jeff with professional precision and [coach] Lawrence Frank played a big part."
McInnis averaged 12.8 points and 5.1 assists in 76 games last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He joins a roster of double-digit scorers that now inlcudes Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson, Abdur-Rahim and Nenad Krstic.
