Why The Brooklyn Nets Do The Deal
Some might be scratching their heads here. If surrounding Antetokounmpo with spacing is optimal, wouldn’t surrounding the non-shooting Ben Simmons with the same be even more important?

After all, behind Simmons, the Nets don’t boast the same elite defensive roster that the Bucks do. Landing Allen won’t fix their defense entirely – simply put, he’s not that type of impact player. Still, it’s a marginal improvement, and that may be all they need.
Moreover, the Nets have plenty of movement shooting. In fact, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are two of the most fluid shooters in the NBA.
