The Nets may only be able to offer impending free agent Andray Blatche 120 percent of his 2012-13 salary, or under $1.5 million.
The Nets are likely to use their lone salary-cap exception to sign European G/F Bojan Bogdanovic, which means they'd have to lure Blatche with the promise of a hefty role and a potential payday in the summer of 2014. Both sides have expressed a desire to work out a new deal, but it all depends upon how the market shapes up for Blatche's services. May 20 - 3:56 PM

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

Andray Blatche hinted that playing time will play a role in whether or not he re-signs with the Nets.

GM Billy King does not anticipate Blatche commanding more than the veteran's minimum on the open market, but that's not certain. "Just getting the right minutes, really and playing helping out," Blatche said when asked about his role. "I played the 4 my whole career." If Blatche is looking for a starting role, he might be looking for a while.

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

Andray Blatche said that his plan "as of now" is to re-sign with Brooklyn as an unrestricted free agent.

Blatche helped rehab his image with solid play off the Nets' bench this season, averaging 10.3 points on 51.2 percent shooting, with 5.1 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks in just 19 minutes per game. Assuming he does stay with the Nets, he'll be a solid handcuff for Brook Lopez in fantasy leagues.

Andray Blatche said his injured calf is "all right" and expects to play in Game 6 on Thursday.

"It's sore, but it's all right though," he said. Blatche won't be at full strength, but he's healthy enough to play and his contributions have been an important part of what the Nets are doing when they're having success in the first round. We wouldn't be surprised to see Blatche push 20-25 minutes.

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

Andray Blatche (calf) expects to play on Thursday.

Blatche's calf was reportedly "very sore," but we never really doubted his availability given the team is in a must-win scenario. Blatche has been effective off the bench and is expected to continue in that role despite being less than 100 percent and will get treatment on both Wednesday and Thursday.

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

Andray Blatche is currently dealing with a calf injury, and Blatche's calf was reportedly very sore after Monday's win.

P.J. Carlesimo praised Blatche after the game for "doing a good job" and having "excellent" shot selection. "He was playing very, very well," the coach said. It doesn't sound like Blatche's calf injury is serious, but it's certainly worth monitoring as the Nets try and claw their way back into the series.

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

Andray Blatche had 15 points and three steals on 6-of-9 shooting in Wednesday's finale.

He also hit a 3-pointer and has become a nice role player off the bench for the Nets. They'll face the Bulls in Game 1 of the playoffs on Saturday, and if you think the Nets will win that series, Blatche might be worth a late pick in playoff leagues.

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

P.J. Carlesimo said Andray Blatche "needs conditioning."

Blatche is a player who has had a history of falling out of shape, so this isn't all that surprising. He logged a double-double with 20 points and 12 boards in 38 minutes vs. his former Washington team on Monday, and Carlesimo was pleased with the effort. Blatche admitted he wasn't prepared for heavy minutes, but he'll only be counted on for backup minutes in the postseason.

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

Andray Blatche was productive his his start on Monday, scoring 20 points with 12 boards, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes vs. Washington.

It wasn't all good and he shot just 9-of-21 from the field and 2-of-7 from the line. The Nets will likely take it easy on Brook Lopez on Wednesday, so Blatche makes sense as a player to start against the Pistons.

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

Andray Blatche scored 15 points with eight boards and two blocks in 26 minutes against the Raptors on Sunday.

Blatche has been well worth the minimal investment the Nets put on him and he might be busy in the last two games with the Nets possibly resting Brook Lopez. In his seven games as a starter, he averaged 17.6 points, 8.9 boards and 1.9 steals. Those are must-start numbers, which makes him a strong pickup for Monday.

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

Andray Blatche scored 16 points off the bench on Friday, hitting 8-of-11 shots with five rebounds, two steals and three blocks in 22 minutes.

Blatche still isn't on the standard league radar but with Joe Johnson hurting he has been called upon to do a bit more on offense. The defensive numbers are an aberration but he's averaging 0.7 steals and 1.0 blocks in his last seven games.

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

Andray Blatche scored 15 points to go with eight boards, four assists, one steal and two blocks in just 22 minutes against the Pistons on Monday.

He scored 11 of those 15 points in garbage time, so the favorable line is nothing really worth making a fuss over. Blatche is playing very well this year and is worth a look in deeper leagues.

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

Andray Blatche hopes to re-sign with the Nets as a free agent this summer.

"We've got a great team here, a great staff," said Blatche. "I feel like this is my new home." He played so poorly off the Wizards bench that they amnestied him just to be free of his contract, but his solid play off the Nets bench may have successfully resurrected his value. He still only 26 years old and it will be interested to see how the market shapes up for him.

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

Andray Blatche played 29 minutes off the bench on Tuesday, scoring 18 points with five boards, three assists and one block on 9-of-15 shooting.

He and Brook Lopez had it working and they were effective on both ends of the floor. P.J. Carlesimo said after the game that the Nets could use more of a Blatche-Lopez tandem in matchups, so there will still likely be some inconsistencies with Blatche. He's worth a look in deeper leagues.

Andray Blatche - F/C - Nets

Andray Blatche took advantage of the Hawks' weakened frontcourt on Saturday, scoring 18 points on 9-of-11 field goals, with four rebounds, four steals and one block in just 20 minutes.

The Hawks started a big lineup tonight, but with Zaza Pachulia (Achilles) injured the bench didn't have enough size to combat Blatche, who is restricted to deep-league value as long as Brook Lopez is healthy.
