The Brooklyn Nets have announced the acquisition of two new players, Terry Roberts and Tre Scott, who join the team as free agents. This move brings the Nets' roster to the maximum allowed 21 players during the offseason. While the financial specifics of their agreements were not disclosed by the organization, it is understood that both athletes have secured standard Exhibit 10 contracts. This type of arrangement offers a potential bonus of up to $85,300, contingent on their being waived and subsequently spending a minimum of 60 days with the Long Island Nets in the G League.
Terry Roberts, a 6-foot-3 guard who went undrafted in 2023, began his professional career with the Long Island Nets in the 2023-24 season. His journey took an unexpected turn in February 2024 when he was struck by a stray bullet in his upper chest, an incident that briefly required him to be placed on a ventilator. Demonstrating remarkable resilience, Roberts made a full recovery and rejoined his team before the season concluded. During the 2024-25 season, he played in 31 games, averaging 6.7 points, 5.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.4 steals in 25.7 minutes per game. Tre Scott, standing 6-foot-8, brings a wealth of professional experience, having played internationally in Puerto Rico, France, and Canada since 2020. He also had a brief two-game stint with the Cavaliers in 2021-22 and most recently played for Brooklyn's G League affiliate. In 34 regular season games during the 2024-25 season, the 28-year-old averaged 11.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.4 steals in 32.0 minutes per game, showcasing his all-around talent.
These strategic signings follow the recent waiving of Dariq Whitehead and Drew Timme, allowing the Brooklyn franchise to optimize their roster during the offseason. The addition of Roberts and Scott not only adds depth but also brings a blend of emerging talent and seasoned experience to the team, as they look to build a competitive squad for the upcoming season. Both players have demonstrated dedication and adaptability, making them valuable additions to the Nets organization.
