EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)—Guard Jordan Farmar(notes) of the NBA champion Lakers has agreed to join the Nets.
New Jersey added another low-profile free agent Sunday after the NBA’s worst team last season, with more than $30 million to spend, struck out in its bid to lure LeBron James(notes), Chris Bosh(notes) or Dwyane Wade(notes).
The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Farmar averaged 6.9 points and 2.1 assists in 18.1 minutes in four years with the Lakers.
The agreement is contingent on Farmar passing a physical.
The Nets also have reached deals with center Johan Petro(notes) and forward Travis Outlaw(notes)
