Brooklyn Nets Receive: C Jonas Valanciunas

New Orleans Pelicans Receive: G/F Joe Harris

This NBA trade scenario would be a simple player-for-player swap with both teams getting a new member of the team that could help right away.

For the Brooklyn Nets, Jonas Valanciunas would bring toughness and versatility on both ends of the floor. This is something that they have been missing and it could help balance rotation further on both ends.

In return, the Nets would be able to unload the contract of Joe Harris. For a New Orleans Pelicans team looking to surround Zion Williamson with as much perimeter shooting as possible, that’s got to be an appealing possibility.

Harris struggled in the postseason after signing a lucrative contract with the team last offseason. Harris would add another dynamic to the backcourt in New Orleans.
