Earlier this afternoon, Adrian Wojnarowski (Woj) of Yahoo Sports announced that the #5 draft pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, Thomas Robinson, will be joining the Nets via a 10-day contract. The Nets really want to get a feel for Robinson who has not averaged many points or rebounds but feel that with the right system, he can become a great asset.
Robinson was drafted to the Kings in 2011 but was then sent to Houston but things didn’t work out there and he was cut from the team. Denver picked him up but was apart of the trade to the Portland Trailblazers. Portland has released Robinson and he will be capable to clear waivers tomorrow at 5pm and sign the 10-day contract.

The 23-year-old who stands at 6ft 10 inches also played for the Kansas Jayhawks averaging 17.7 points and 11.8 rebounds. Just before he posted those numbers, Robinson had a heart breaking period in his life that was documented on ESPN. In less than a months time, Robinsons’ grandmother, grandfather and mother all passed away leaving his little sister as his only remaining family member. Robinson tweeted out today “I’m more than excited to be a part of the organization and I just want to thank the fans for accepting me here even before the signing. All thanks to God! Thank you Brooklyn.”
With the Robinson signing, he will complete the 15 man roster for the Brooklyn Nets. Robinson actually told reporters on draft night that he prefers the Brooklyn Nets as they were on their way to Brooklyn for the first time. The feeling was mutual as the Nets wanted him but their pick was traded away to the Trailblazers who picked Damian Lillard. Many may have thought that the Nets future was in shambles but the organization is taking the right steps towards a promising future. They are getting younger and have lowered their salary. When Billy King spoke to OurBKSocial last week he probably didn’t think he could get the people he wanted years ago.
Expect Robinson to don the black and white for the first time on Wednesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. This long road trip could use offense and defense from anywhere as the Nets face tough competition. Robinson and the Nets organization hopes that the 10-day contract can turn into something much more. With Robinson now being on the team he originally wanted to be on and the Nets finally getting their guy, lets see if this destined union bears fruit for both sides.
