NBA Rumors: Brooklyn Nets sign Jorge Gutierrez
The Brooklyn Nets signed Jorge Gutierrez to two consecutive 10-day contracts.
Obviously, the Nets liked what they saw from the Mexican-born point guard because on Friday, the team announced they had signed the former California Golden Bears’ star to a two-year contract.
The announcement was made by Nets’ general manager Billy King, but terms of the deal were not disclosed.
According to Tim Bontemps of The New York Post, it was quite the day for Gutierrez. He received his first fine after he was ejected in Wednesday night’s loss to the Charlotte Bobcats.
