Brooklyn Nets Land San Antonio Spurs Veterans
San Antonio Spurs Receive: G/F Joe Harris, F/C Day’Ron Sharpe, 2028 First-Round Pick (Swap – BKN)
Brooklyn Nets Receive: F Doug McDermott, G/F Josh Richardson
For what it’s worth, the Nets have been doing just fine without a stretch big. We think one would make for a logical addition, but that doesn’t mean it’s a necessity.
Simply swapping one quality veteran for two would make this team stronger. If the Nets agree, they ought to get on the phone with the San Antonio Spurs.
After all, McDermott is virtually a perfect replacement for Harris. They’re both elite movement shooters. On the other hand, the veteran Richardson has much more to contribute to a playoff run than the sophomore Sharpe.
As for the Spurs: sophomores like Sharpe ought to be right up their alley. This is one of the worst teams in the NBA, and they’re clearly in a rebuild.
