The Kings traded Ellis along with Dennis Schröder to Cleveland as part of a multi-team deal at last season’s trade deadline, and the 26-year-old averaged 8.3 points per game and shot 49.1% from the field in 29 games with the Cavaliers.
The Nets have been busy this offseason, having reportedly added veteran Julius Randle from Minnesota right before the Draft.
