Nenad Krstic is now a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The New Jersey Nets have declined to match Oklahoma City’s offer sheet to former first-round pick Nenad Krstic.
The decision Tuesday gives the Thunder another 7-footer as they continue to look for a reliable center.
Krstic was playing in Russia when the Thunder extended an offer sheet to him last week. The Nets had a week to match it but passed.
Krstic is just 25 and was an above average big man over the last two seasons in New Jersey before an injury knocked him out for most of the 2007-08 season. If he can get back into an NBA groove, he could give the Thunder another option to ease the burden on Kevin Durant.
