According to ESPN, jeff Schwartz, the agent of seven-time All-Star forward Lamarcus Aldridge, has informed the outside world that Ade will return to the Brooklyn Nets on a one-year, $2.6 million contract, and that signing a contract is only a matter of time and can be regarded as an official announcement.
Schwartz announced that Ard had passed a number of doctors' check-ups, including those in the Nets' medical team, in preparation for his return to the Nets in his 16th season.
After further testing and evaluation by several top doctors, both Ade and the Nets believed that he had fully recovered and was able to return to the harsh state of the NBA. The reason for choosing the Nets again is that Ade was completely infected by the atmosphere here, saying that he really enjoyed the short time spent in Brooklyn and was excited to rejoin the team in pursuit of the championship.
Born in Dallas, Texas, the 36-year-old was selected by the Bulls in the NBA in 2006 as the top spot, and then traded to the Blazers, who only exchanged Ade for Tyrus Thomas, who only got the fourth pick. Although when he first entered the league, his injuries and defensive performance made people think that this year's list might be watered.
But when the Blazers were unable to move any further and finally decided to clean up their bloated interior line and train new players, and when Zachlanddorf was still unable to play because of injury, Ade seized the opportunity and once played close to the 20+10 level in the short days of Zach's injury. Although he missed the last few games due to injury, it did not affect his success in the best team. It also impressed everyone, made the pioneers believe that they had found their own internal cornerstone, and also made the Bull miss the opportunity to establish a new era dynasty.
With a height of 2.11 meters and an arm span of 2.25 meters, Ade will not suffer at any inside height in the alignment league, but Ade, who runs well and has solid interior skills, always hates confrontation, coupled with years of injuries, he loves to shoot, and he is always accompanied by the label of soft ball style.
In 2007, the Blazers, who were lucky enough to win the first lottery, resolutely chose Oden and traded Randolph to the Knicks, straightening out Ade, Auden's playing style complemented Ade's, coupled with his brutal performance in college, making people full of infinite reverie about the inside combination, but the Blazers with Auden, Ade, Roy, Fernandez, Batum and many good players have never been able to reach their due heights.
Injuries are the label that has always accompanied this team, whether it is the Roy era or the Lillard era, Ade has always been plagued by injuries. But that didn't stop him from becoming a league star, playing 648 regular-season games in the Blazers' nine years, averaging 19.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists in 35.5 minutes per game, and four All-Star titles during the period. In Nowitzki, Garnett, Duncan, Bosh, and Singh Jr., they all managed to squeeze into the all-time squad three times in the years of their playing years. It's not hard to doubt that if Ard could have entered the league a decade later, he would have been able to get more honors than Anthony Davis.
In the days after transferring to his hometown team, the Spurs, far from the big city, the team has never been able to reach the previous heights through effective reinforcements, but Ade is also a reserved industry to dedicate the peak of his career to here, in the Spurs' five years, he was selected as an All-Star twice and the best team twice.
In the 20-21 season, in order to thank Ade for his years of dedication, the Spurs also reached a buyout agreement with Ade and let him go to the Nets to chase his dreams. After five games in Brooklyn, Aldridge had an irregular heartbeat against the Los Angeles Lakers in April, which soon led to his decision to announce his retirement.
Now, Ade has returned from injury and embarked on his journey of thorns again, hoping that he will realize his dream here and bring his sixteen years of a career full of setbacks to a perfect end.
