The Brooklyn Nets re-signed center Brook Lopez and forward Thaddeus Young, with both players agreeing to multiyear deals, reports ESPN.com’s Mike Mazzeo.

Lopez received a three-year deal worth $60 million, while Young's deal is four years and $50 million, according to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski. Both have a player option in the final year of their new deals.

No new contracts can be signed until July 9 when the NBA’s moratorium is lifted. Both players opted out of the final year of their contracts and became unrestricted free agents.

The Nets made several moves in preparation for free agency, trading Mason Plumlee to the Portland Trail Blazers on draft night in exchange for the draft rights of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and veteran guard Steve Blake.
