Reports have surfaced that as early as today, the Brooklyn Nets could sign Jason Collins to a contract. Normally this would not be news since Collins is pretty washed up, but since Collins was the first player in the history of major sports in America to come out and say he is gay, it obviously makes this a bigger deal. The Nets are considering giving him a 10 day contract to see how it goes and to see how he can help them. His game isn’t much at this point, but because of his size, he may be able to fill in for a few minutes here and there to give Kevin Garnett and some of the other front court players some rest. The Nets worked him out a few days ago and said he was in pretty good shape. Collins played for the New Jersey Nets for the first six years of his career. Hit the jump.
