Potential Nets-Raptors trade on a process in light of the Kyrie Irving Mavs deal
According to sources, the Brooklyn Nets are in a bind after dealing star Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks. They will want to bolster the roster around Kevin Durant and have contacted the Toronto Raptors.
Begley stated that the Nets have spoken with Toronto about a potential transaction in their discussions with organization members about Kyrie Irving. As the Thursday trade deadline approaches, that could be relevant in this situation.
This is essential information since many people were speculating about whether the Nets will try to deal with Durant, who made a trade request over the summer. Durant is still on the roster because a deal was never finalized. According to some reports, the Suns might be interested if Durant were available. However, early indications suggest that Durant will remain where he is.
With Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby, the Raptors still own two of the most valuable trade assets, though it’s yet to be apparent if both will be dealt with before the deadline on Thursday.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, the Nets received Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a first-round pick, and numerous second-round picks. These are resources that the Nets could use in a trade with Toronto.
The New York Knicks, reportedly willing to trade three first-round picks to get the player, will likely be a rival team for the Nets. There are rumors that the Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans are also participating.
The Los Angeles Clippers and Orlando Magic have been mentioned as potential opponents for VanVleet.
The good news for the Nets, who are trying to change course, is that they have at least a few days left before the deadline to come up with a solution.
