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.

Sounds like the Nets are loading up over there.

[Horry For 3!]

Cavs are in search of a PG now even more than they were.

[Kori Ellis]

The Cavs are going after Jaric and then Watson.

[Kori Ellis]

I just read the Cavs might be doing a sign-and-trade with Miami. Wagner for Damon Jones.

I think that would be a bad move for Miami.

they should go after Watson first then Jaric.

Damn, I forgot the cavs still had that dude.

[Kori Ellis]

I think that would be a bad move for Miami.

Miami offered Jones like a 3year/$9M contract and he's looking for much more.
