NBA Trade Rumors: 4 predictions on who the Nets’ mystery target could be

Malik Beasley, Utah Jazz

Last but not least, here is my final guess on the player that the Brooklyn Nets could’ve asked about via trade – Malik Beasley. Though, there are certainly a few reasons why Beasley may not be the player the Nets are targeting.

First, let’s talk about why it could be Beasley. For one, he’s a good scorer and would qualify as a “good shooter” as he’s averaging 12 points on 38 percent shooting from 3-point range. He has a team option for next season and is on an affordable contract.

Though, Beasley is only 25 years old so I’m not sure he would qualify as being a “veteran” player. But other than that, he’s a player that the Jazz could theoretically trade. He’s unlikely to be part of the team’s future build.

The question is, would Beasley be a player that the Nets believe could help solve the team’s problems?
