It doesn't look like the Nets will be working out any sign-and-trade deals for Bostjan Nachbar.
According to legaue sources, Nachbar will sign with Dynamo Moscow in Russia. Don't have the terms, but I've heard it was a far better offer than he was receiving here.
Nets president Rod Thorn had said it was becoming less likely that the team would be able to do a sign-and-trade for the restricted free agent.
The Nets should complete the sign-and-trade for another restricted free agent today. They agreed on a deal with the Magic for backup combo guard Keyon Dooling. The trade, for the Nets $3.3 million trade exception and some cash, is pending league approval. Dooling will sign a three-year deal worth about $10.6 million, but the final year is not fully guaranteed.
There could still be another sign-and-trade for them if they can do something with Nenad Krstic. As of now, Krstic, a restricted free agent, is planning to return to the NBA, but he has offers overseas.
A statement in the article is incorrect. The Nets couldn't do a sign and trade for Nachbar because he is an unrestricted free agent. They can only do a sign and trade for Krstic who is a restricted free agent.

Actually, you are both wrong.
Nachbar was an unrestricted free agent. But they still could have done a sign-and-trade for him.
Keyon Dooling was unrestricted and the Nets did one for him.
You need the agent to work with you and the other team to be willing to take back what you have for a sign-and-trade, it doesn't matter if it's a restricted or unrestricted free agent.
