The Nets still don’t know if Dwight Howard will be on their roster next season, but this piece of good news is in.
Adam Morrison and his hair have made Brooklyn’s summer league roster.
Joining Morrison on the Nets summer league roster are MarShon Brooks (assuming he’s not dealt to the Orlando Magic for Howard); former Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor, whom the Nets obtained in the recent NBA Draft; former Pittsburgh guard Ashton Gibbs; former NBA player Al Thornton; and former Siena guard Edwin Ubiles.
The Nets will play in the AirTran Airways Pro Summer League, which will be held at the Amway Center practice facility in Orlando July 9-13.
“I understand that I’m never going to shake being a bust or being a failure in some people’s eyes, but I’ve experienced a lot of highs in basketball,” Morrison, who turns 28 July 19, told reporters at the NEts free-agent mini-camp in May. “So I guess you can call it a hardship but it’s really not. I get to play basketball for money and it’s pretty good.”
The No. 3 pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, Morrison is hoping for one more shot in the NBA after winning two rings with the Lakers and later ending up on the Turkish team Besiktas after Deron Williams had left Turkey to return to the U.S.
Now Morrison and Williams could end up being teammates on a new-look Nets outfit that includes Joe Johnson and possibly Howard, who is also reportedly being targeted by the Lakers in a trade.
“I just want to get another opportunity,” Morrison said, “and make the most of it.”
