Brooklyn Nets
When healthy, there’s an argument to be made that the Brooklyn Nets might be the best team in the Eastern Conference. However, right now, that isn’t the case. Though, the hope is that this team can get back to that level at some point before the start of the playoffs. If so, this is a team that will be a handful in a seven-game series. Even more so if they can add another piece ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline.
And if the Wizards are serious about trading Hachimura, the Nets should be interested in making a deal happen. It was previously reported that the Nets were interested in upgrading the power forward position and Hachimura would be an interesting piece to stick next to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
You would expect that the game would be a whole lot easier for Hachimura playing next to KD and Kyrie and with the season that Nic Claxton is having on the defensive end of the floor, that aspect of the game should ease as well for Hachimura.
