Would this trade make sense for the Brooklyn Nets?
If there is any area that could use improvement for the Brooklyn Nets, it would be the frontcourt. DeAndre Jordan did not work out the way the team hoped and it was hard to find him minutes for the postseason. Nicolas Claxton has stepped up but a rim protector is still needed.
This is not a trade that has to happen for the Nets to be successful but they could take a chance on a player like Mo Bamba for his upside. He has struggled with injuries during his career and has been unable to find any consistency. The Magic seem to be going in a different direction and Bamba could be left behind.
There are few better places to develop right now than Brooklyn. They have three of the best players in the league on the roster to help the next generation.
Bamba would not be asked to do too much right away. He is a bench player that can bring depth and explosiveness if he ever takes that next step. First, Bamba must stay healthy and find his game at the next level.

There is plenty of value around Bamba but the Nets would not have to give up too much. It seems like an easy deal for the Nets if they have a chance to get it done.
