Eddie

Gill

The deal can’t be announced until Thursday. The Nets want to make the trade to free up salary-cap room. Gill’s contract isn’t guaranteed and he’d have to attempt to make the Nets as a reserve.

Greene worked out with the team earlier in the offseason, as did Tucker, while Gill was last in the NBA with the Bucks in 2009. It would be a major surprise to see any one of this foursome make the team.

It’s official - All three Nets’ point guards are now injured, leaving Eddie Gill to start at the 1. He had three points and zero assists, but the Nets are hoping to have Jason Kidd and Armstrong available on opening night, and Marcus Williams back shortly thereafter.

A veteran of five NBA seasons, Gill toiled with Dynamo Moscow in Russia last year, averaging over 6 PPG in 16.1 MPG. With the Jazz in need of a veteran backup point guard behind Deron Williams, Gill could catch on, but his chances of earning enough PT to actually have fantasy value are nil.

With Darrell Armstrong likely out for a month and Marcus Williams still recovering from foot surgery, the Nets needed a backup for Jason Kidd for the short term.

Gill played in 13 games this season, averaging 2.9 points 1.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists. He could resurface on another team’s roster, but won’t have any fantasy value this year.

He wasn’t even in the arena as of 6:30 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. game. In addition, Stephon Marbury will not play tonight due to the death of his father, according to Dave D’Alessandro’s blog for the Newark Star-Ledger. Get both players on your bench if you have that option and look for Eddie Gill to get a lot of run at PG for the Nets tonight. As for New York, some combination of Mardy Collins, Nate Robinson, Fred Jones and Jamal Crawford will man the point.

He played 13 games for the Nets last season and has an outside shot at making the team as a reserve, although it’s very unlikely he would crack the regular rotation.

Gill played five minutes in one game for the Sonics, and never had any fantasy value.

Gill spent time with the Nets earlier this season before being sent to the NBADL, where he put up big averages. The 29-year-old vet won’t have any fantasy value.
