O'Neal: He will wear 00 this upcoming season for the Nets, and he was acquired in a trade with the Utah Jazz. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that deal was for a 2023 first-round pick. O'Neal averaged 7.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game for the Jazz last season. They are the only franchise that he has played for in his entire NBA career. 

Brooklyn is sending the lesser of their own, Houston or Philadelphia's 2023 first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

Warren: He will wear 1 this upcoming season for the Nets, and he was signed in free agency after spending the last three seasons with the Indiana Pacers. However, he has played just four games in the last two years due to injury. The last full season that he played he averaged 19.8 points per game on over 40% shooting from the three-point range and nearly 54% shooting from the field. He has also played for the Phoenix Suns in addition to the Pacers. 

Warren has only played four games in past two years with consecutive stress fractures in his left foot, but he's recovering can help Nets at both forward spots. Warren averaged nearly 20 points on 53% from the field in 2020. At 29, he'll be a free agent again next year. https://t.co/PWUAOt65cr

Sumner: The former Indiana Pacer will wear 4 this season. He was traded to the Nets last year, but was already out for the season due to injury so he had been waived. The Nets have now brought him back in free agency. 

Edmond Sumner was traded from the Pacers to the Nets back in 2021 (with a 2025 second round pick) for the draft rights to Juan Pablo Vaulet before being waived by Brooklyn.

Now he’s a Net again. https://t.co/bACx2zf3ab
