Why The Brooklyn Nets Do The Deal

We already mentioned the incentive to remain relevant. This deal does not help that cause. For them to be interested in it, they’d have to see a lot in the incoming pieces hee.

On the other hand, plenty are out on Wiseman. Still, even if he doesn’t pan out, and Kuminga and Moody reach their potential, this could look like a solid return for the Nets in hindsight.
