Mavericks Land Cavaliers’ Jarrett Allen In Bold Trade Scenario

NBA Analysis Network

Why The Brooklyn Nets Do The Deal

In fact, the Nets are another example of a team that’s doubling down on a skillset. This team has a surplus of 3-and-D wings at their disposal.

Mikal Bridges. Dorian Finney-Smith. Royce O’Neale. With so many similar players, the Nets likely can’t afford to retain Johnson as a restricted free agent this summer. This deal has them moving him in a sign-and-trade.

They aren’t getting much back in the short term here. They’ll be adding a rookie, and Bertans is too poor of a defender to play meaningful minutes for this team. With that said, this is about the rookie.

This pick would have to land inside the top 10. Otherwise, it goes to the Knicks. If the Nets can get the 8-10th pick in exchange for Johnson, it’s worth absorbing Bertans’ contract.
