Why The Brooklyn Nets Do The Deal
Yes. At least, adding a stretch big man is necessary for these Nets.
That’s probably why they’ve been linked to Myles Turner. If the Nets are willing to give up a first-round pick, they could probably land him. With that said, they are already light on first-round picks as it is.
Bamba is a more affordable option. Meanwhile, he still gives them the floor spacing big man that they need to maximize Ben Simmons. Bamba also provides some of the rim protection they’d be getting in Turner as well.
If the Nets are hesitant here, it’ll be due to the emergence of Nic Claxton. To be sure, he’s looked like a Defensive Player of the Year candidate this season.

With that said, it’s that defensive versatility in tandem with Bamba’s floor spacing that makes them a viable pairing.
In other words, this is an upgrade worth making for the Nets.
