Why the Trade Benefits the Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets are looking to add another star this offseason. Irving said that this team needs another big name to compete for a championship. Whether that player is Harden or someone else, it is easy to see the Nets wanting to continue to improve.
The Nets would have to part ways with players like Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert in this deal, along with a future first round pick. This should not turn them away from this deal considering the return they are getting. LaVine is the best player changing teams in his deal.
LaVine knows how to play with other superstars because it is something he has done over the course of his career. Gordon is another role player with great athleticism who could contend on both ends of the floor. This move will give them extreme depth and talent.
If the Nets are serious about winning a championship, then a deal for another star or two could be coming soon. It will be interesting to see which route they go in acquiring that next big-name player.
