Why The Brooklyn Nets Make The Trade
If the Brooklyn Nets intend to heavily feature Ben Simmons in their offense next season, they’ll need a stretch 5. That’s exactly where that particular value we mentioned comes into play.
Granted, Vucevic endured a season-long shooting slump from downtown in 2021-22. His 31.4% was his lowest accuracy rate since 2016-17. Consider this a bet that he’ll bounce back. Typically, he’s one of the sweetest shooting bigs in the NBA.
Meanwhile, Williams is the real prize here. We already outlined his abilities. If the Nets could land the 20-year-old in exchange for Irving, it would be a coup.
In fact, the Chicago Bulls may decline on the basis of Williams’ inclusion. He’s got that much potential. At the same time, we couldn’t put anything past this front office when it comes to acquiring premium veteran talent.
