Broad ideas for the Nets if they opt to cash in pieces for young players + picks.
– Nic Claxton/Dorian Finney-Smith to Houston, find a way to get the 2024 pick back + Alperen Sengun.
– Mikal Bridges to Portland for #3 and Shaedon Sharpe
– Royce O’Neale for Jonathon Kuminga

Down for all of them but I don’t see Houston or Portland accepting the first two deals. Third deal may not work money wise.
The first trade seems like bait. Claxton is already better than Şengün, and I don’t see why we need our own pick back unless we’re going to blow this entire ship.
Also, I wish people would stop making stupid Mikal Bridges trade ideas. The Nets already have made it clear several times that he’s almost unmovable.
I’d be down for the third trade, though.
First one is really bad imo. Why give up two very good players just to get our pick back? So we can be bad? Clax and DFS each would go for a minimum of one first rounder in separate deals, likely more. I hate this idea of desperately trying to get our picks back.
Second one Brooklyn needs more, and the salaries don’t work. Something like Bridges for Simons, #3 and #23 (or a future first) would be more interesting to me. But I don’t see any way Marks trades Bridges this summer.
Third one I’d love but don’t see GS doing that at all. If they’re trying to maximize their championship window by trading Kuminga I think they’d want more than just Royce. I’d give them Royce, DFS and #21 but who are they trading away to make the salaries work? Maybe S&T with Donte? Either way would be tough to make the numbers work. Would love Kuminga in Brooklyn though.
Bruh are we a charity?? all these trades make us worse and make every other team better. Also if Blazers want Mikal minimum would have to include more picks and Sharpe we need a PG more than a SG. I swear every team wants to see the bare minimum they can give us for both Claxton and Bridges.
Can we just keep Bridges?? I’m so sick of people throwing him into trades.
He’s a great player and a great guy, on a great contract. We don’t need to trade him!
I love Bridges. I have to say though if Portland was crazy enough to offer Simons, Sharpe and the 3rd pick for Bridges, I wouldn’t be upset if we made the trade. At that point you would go full youth movement. We could probably get something back in a sign and trade for Cam Johnson. Also DFS , Royce and Dinwiddie could also land us picks and young talent. At that point, I could see us going after Kuminga. We wouldn’t be good this year but man the future would look bright. Also we would be able to pursue future free agents.
