The New Jersey Nets were shopping for frontcourt help at the trade deadline in February 2006 when they landed combo forward Bostjan Nachbar from the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for Marc Jackson, Linton Johnson and cash considerations.

Entering the 2006-16 period as a reserve up front, Nachbar provided the Nets with some solid shooting from the perimeter during his two seasons, placing seventh in the NBA in 2006-07 with a 61.4 true shooting percentage.

The Slovenian started just two games over the two seasons in the 2006-16 period, but averaged 9.5 points and 3.4 rebounds in 21.1 minutes per game on .427/.391/.794 shooting.

In 12 appearances in the 2007 playoffs, Nachbar averaged 9.9 points and 2.9 rebounds in 23.4 minutes per game on .421/.375/.955 shooting, leading all players in the postseason in free-throw shooting in the process.

Nachbar played out his contract at the end of the 2007-08 season and returned to Europe, playing another nine years in Russia, Turkey, Germany and Spain before retiring in 2017 at age 37.

He arrived in the NBA as a first-round pick of the Houston Rockets in 2002 and also played with the Hornets before coming to New Jersey, spending six seasons in the NBA.
