Brooklyn Nets Receive: F Jae Crowder, G/F Josh Okogie
Phoenix Suns Receive: G Patrick Beverley
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Seth Curry
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets would like to take a page out of the Lakers’ book.
Like the Lakers, this team is not far removed from real title expectations. The Nets were built to be the league’s most dominant offensive team behind a trio of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden.
In all likelihood, you know the rest. Harden demanded a trade from the Nets, and he got his wish. Durant demanded the same, but as of now, he’s still in the borough.
Kyrie Irving’s frequent absences from the game may or may not be the root of all this discontent.

Either way, the Nets don’t have the same comeback kid aura that the Lakers do. At 13-12, they actually have a better record than the Lakers, but they haven’t enjoyed a stretch like LA’s recent one this season.
Could this deal lead to such a stretch?
