NBA Trade Deadline: Grading how all 30 teams performed at the deadline

Brooklyn Nets

Key Moves:

• Acquired Greg Monroe and 2021 second-round pick from Raptors for cash considerations (per Shams Charania).

The Brooklyn Nets are a team that many expected to possibly make a move at the NBA Trade Deadline, but I believe they made the right move and standing pat. They have a full set of assets (in terms of draft picks) finally, and it made no sense to burn any of them for a short-sighted move.

That’s exactly what would’ve been the case had they decided to make a move for a shooter or a 3-and-D wing. The Nets are fine where they are in the Eastern Conference, and will likely make the playoffs, barring a huge injury.

And they also received the great news that Caris LeVert will be making his return to the team this week. Things are looking up for the Nets, and they made the right move by not overreacting at the trade deadline.

Grade: B
