Brooklyn Nets Receive: G/F Kevin Huerter, F Keegan Murray, 2026 First-Round Pick (SAC), 2028 First-Round Pick (SAC) 

Sacramento Kings Receive: G/F Mikal Bridges 

Meanwhile, the Nets might be the exact opposite of the Kings. 

Getting stops won’t be an issue for this group. Nic Claxton is a Defensive Player of the Year candidate. So is Mikal Bridges.

Dorian Finney-Smith and Cameron Johnson also hold their own on that end of the floor. 

By contrast, the Nets are lacking players who can consistently generate offense. Bridges has flashed potential in that regard, but he’s unlikely to carry a contending NBA offense on his own. 

With all of that in mind, it would be hard to claim that the Nets have even a puncher’s chance of winning a title.

Perhaps that speaks to the superiority of elite offense in the modern NBA. 

Should they really move the one player they have that’s getting buckets?
