the Brooklyn Networks They’re trying to improve as much as they can this season because they’re trying to get the most out of the young players and draft picks they have now. The Nets have made solid moves all this summer, but they haven’t been able to trade a star-level player.
From many reports, Brooklyn has been trying to trade Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard since the season began. While Lillard was the best player the Nets could trade for, there were also reports that he was not interested in playing for the Nets, or any team other than the Miami Heat.
In this fictitious trade that he proposed Greg Schwartz As Bleacher reports, Brooklyn will be able to trade a player who can make a huge difference to the Nets next season and beyond. The only thing is, is the trade in for this hot player worth it?
Fake trade:
Receive the Brooklyn Nets: Pascal Siakam and Thaddeus Young
Toronto Raptors receive: Unprotected first-round picks Cam Thomas, Dorian Feeney Smith, and Ben Simmons 2025 and 2027 (via Phoenix Suns)
Should networks do this trade?
Trading for Siakam would be a great netting move in almost any situation due to his ability to play as a true power forward or as a small ball center. Siakam is the kind of all-around player who can make things easier for players like Mikal Bridges and Nic Claxton.
On the flip side, Brooklyn will give up a deal to Siakam in terms of future Suns first-round draft picks along with Simmons. If the Nets were trying to get rid of Simmons’ contract, getting Siakam and Young in return would be a steal.
Ultimately, if the Nets abandon Simmons and try to trade a star-level player to win a championship soon, this is the deal for them. However, if they are willing to build around Bridges, Claxton, and Cam Johnson and back them up with player roles, Brooklyn may not have any other players to go after.
to rule: Yes, networks should do the trade.
