Proposed B/R trade would solidify Brooklyn Nets’ championship hopes

A proposed trade deadline move would solidify the Brooklyn Nets’ championship hopes in the Eastern Conference.

After a chaotic offseason, there were many questions surrounding the Brooklyn Nets heading into the season. However, through excellent team basketball, the team has shaken off their offseason questions and is now prepping for a deep run in the postseason.

If the Nets can make the right move at the NBA Trade Deadline, there’s a good chance that this team could get hot at the right time. And if the Nets are hot heading into the playoffs, is anyone willing to bet against Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in a seven-game series?
