3. Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets are all-in on winning a championship. They have committed to their Big 3 of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving and now just have to fit the pieces in around them to make it happen.
Finding those pieces will always be difficult. Brooklyn made five draft picks in the 2021 NBA Draft and was able to sign veterans Patty Mills and James Johnson in free agency. Yet, the frontcourt could still use some extra depth.
Someone like Robert Covington, should they be able to afford the price tag, would fit in well with the Nets. Covington can provide a similar impact to what Jeff Green did for the team during the stretch run of the 2021 season.
Green signed with the Denver Nuggets in free agency, leaving a big hole in the Nets’ frontcourt. Blake Griffin was re-signed, but if they do not intend on using DeAndre Jordan as a regular in their rotation again, they still need more established talent in the frontcourt.

Covington’s defensive impact would be greatly appreciated by the Nets, as they sometimes struggled on that end of the court. He has multi-positional versatility on that end, as Covington has proven in the past he can defend every position on the court.
