4. Brooklyn Nets Sign T.J. Warren

Anyone claiming to have any handle on what the Brooklyn Nets will do this summer had better be a prominent member of the organization. Otherwise, they’re a bold-faced liar.

No team in the NBA is currently surrounded by more chaos than Brooklyn. Kevin Durant has requested a trade. A parting between Kyrie Irving and the organization seems to be in both parties’ mutual interest. Ben Simmons may be the most reliable top-end talent left on this team. Yikes.

Signing Warren to a one-year deal was a smart decision no matter what happens. In the unlikely event that the Nets bring their stars back, he could be an excellent addition to a contending squad.

Meanwhile, with the team owing their draft to the Houston Rockets through to 2027, they’ll likely aim to stay competitive with a whole new roster. If healthy, Warren aids that cause as well.

Finally, even if this team does bottom out, a healthy Warren should be a valuable trade chip at the deadline. Snatching him up on a prove-it deal after years of major injuries is a low-risk, potentially high-reward move for an otherwise floundering organization.
