Shareef Abdur-Rahim has agreed to sign with the Nets. The only question remaining is whether the 6'-9" power forward will join the Nets for the mid-level exception or be sent East by the Blazers in a sign-and-trade deal. The Blazers continue to hold out for the rights to 7'-1" Mile Ilic or a first round draft choice, but the Nets continue to refuse the demand. No matter. Abdur-Rahim has agreed to sign for the mid-level exception if a deal can't be worked out.
