EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Free agent Lucious Harris has reached a $5 million agreement with the New Jersey Nets to stay with the team for another two seasons.
Harris has not signed a contract, but his agent, Jerome Stanley, told The Star-Ledger of New Jersey on Monday that the backup guard will sign soon.
"I would say it's a fair deal," Stanley said. "He wanted to continue playing there. It was a good, solid offer. And it stood up to the other offers he received."
Stanley said "probably a dozen" teams had serious interest in signing Harris, but that New Jersey was always the front-runner.
Nets spokesman Gary Sussman would not comment when reached by The Associated Press on Monday night.
The Eastern Conference champion Nets lost the NBA Finals to the San Antonio Spurs in six games. Harris has been with the Nets for the last six seasons.
