Brooklyn Nets
Players that could be dealt: Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez or Deron Williams
What the Nets want: Draft picks and cap space
The Nets are in a curious position, as they are looking to create some cap relief, while compiling young talent and draft picks, but they are also only a game out of the playoffs.
Brooklyn will most likely love to trade away Lopez or Johnson and if a deal comes available that helps the team’s future outlook, I doubt they hesitate. Look for the Nets to try to land Lance Stephenson from the Hornets in a move to reduce money but remain competitive.
It’s a move that’s been discussed, but for some reason has not been completed.
