Why The Brooklyn Nets Do The Deal 

The Nets can justify this deal in a few different ways. Firstly, they’ve got a surplus of 3-and-D wings.

The Nets may not need O’Neale. When you consider their salary situation, that holds especially true. 

After all, Cameron Johnson is on this team’s payroll. Meanwhile, Ben Simmons’ contract is weighing them down.

The Nets could justify cutting Watson following this deal, and they’d save a few million dollars.
