Raptors agree to deal DeMarre Carroll, picks to Nets for Justin Hamilton
In a move to create salary-cap flexibility, the Toronto Raptors have agreed to trade forward DeMarre Carroll to the Brooklyn Nets, league sources told ESPN.
For the Nets to take on the two years and $30 million left on Carroll's contract, the Raptors will attach a 2018 lottery-protected first-round and second-round pick to the deal, league sources said.
The Nets will send center Justin Hamilton to Toronto in the trade, sources say.
Carroll, 30, will have a chance to become the Nets' starting small forward. A professional, hard-working veteran, Caroll could serve as a good mentor for 2016 first-round pick Caris LeVert. Nets coach Kenny Atkinson coached Carroll as an assistant with the Atlanta Hawks and holds a strong affinity for him.
