Springer will compete for a spot on the team's roster during training camp and the NBA preseason. The Tennessee product played in 43 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign, spending time with the Celtics and Jazz. He averaged 2.5 points and 1.3 rebounds across 8.5 minutes per game, shooting 38.9 percent from the field.
Council, who was recently let go by the 76ers, enters into a pretty good situation for his development with the Nets in the early stages of a rebuild. Council amassed 105 career regular-season appearances with the 76ers over the past two seasons with averages of 6.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 three-pointers on 40.2 percent shooting from the field.
A second-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Freeman was limited to 22 regular-season appearances with the Pacers in 2024-25. He made a strong impression in the Summer League, however, averaging 16.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks.
After three years in Utah, Juzang will join his second NBA team. He's coming off his best season in 2024-25, as he made 64 regular-season appearances with averages of 8.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 19.8 minutes per game. Rotation minutes won't come as easy in Minnesota, however.
The deal also includes a player option for the 2029-30 campaign. Bridges has proven to be a durable asset over the years, as he's never missed a single game in his NBA career due to an injury, and he'll remain a key component in New York's lineup for the foreseeable future. Over 82 regular-season outings in 2024-25, the veteran swingman averaged 17.6 points, 3.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 37.0 minutes per game.
