The Nets acquired Marcus Thornton from the Kings for two of Brooklyn’s veteran role player, Reggie Evans and Jason Terry.
Criticized for his defense and streaky shooting, Thornton still brings something to the Nets’ bench that Terry wasn’t providing – the potential for production.
In landing Thornton, the Nets shed two players who were in and out of Kidd’s rotation, who never really found a role after the team hit a stride in January.
