New York Knicks Receive: F Dorian Finney-Smith
Despite this, we shouldn’t rule out the Nets in the near future. The superstar trio that they once had might not be with them anymore.
This being the case, it’s unlikely that they will be able to contend for the NBA title this season. Despite that, there are a lot of things to like about this group as well.
Nic Claxton. Mikal Bridges. Finney-Smith. It is true that these players may not be offensive superstars, but they are some of the best defensive players in the NBA.
There is still a lack of an offensive engine in the Nets’ lineup. As a whole, this team is a complicated one. Spencer Dinwiddie has been as close as it gets in the backcourt, while Bridges has shown impressive flashes. Neither are proven All-NBA caliber talents.
