Edwards has played in 13 games this season and is averaging 1.2 points and 1.1 rebounds per contest, while Sharpe is averaging 3.9 points and 3.2 rebounds per contest in 20 games.
In addition to sending those two players to the Long Island Nets, they have also signed recent Miami Heat player Dru Smith to a two-way contract.

The 25-year-old went undrafted in the 2021 NBA Draft and spent last season in the G League.
This year he has played in five games for the Heat and is averaging 2.2 points and 1.8 rebounds per contest (he's also played in 15 G League games).
After starting out 1-5, the Nets have been arguably the best team in the entire NBA over the last four weeks.
They are currently the second seed in the Eastern Conference with a 27-14 record in 41 games (only 3.5 games behind the Boston Celtics for the first seed).
