Only the transfer of Pascal Siakam has broken the calm of the market three weeks before its closing. But, for now, most teams continue to throw rumors into the air to test the waters. One of them is the Brooklyn Nets, who have a few valuable pieces on their roster to nurture the league’s main contenders. New Yorkers suffer a certain overbooking in the forward position, and the departures of Dorian Finney-Smith and Royce O’Neal are the most likely to relieve the position.
The former Mavericks player is related, precisely, to Dallas. And, according to sources close to the franchise consulted by NetsDaily, Brooklyn would be asking for two first rounds to let the forward go. Just yesterday it emerged that in the NBA there is doubt about Sean Marks’ approach to this market closing. In league circles, the Nets were expected to be a selling team, but some voices point to the possibility of them being aggressive with the idea of surrounding Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson and Nic Claxton in the immediate future.

However, asking for two first rounds for the departure of one of the most valuable pieces of the rotation points precisely in the opposite direction. Spencer Dinwiddie is another of the main candidates to leave, although his market seems smaller. The Nets are currently out of the play-in with a 17-24 record that puts them half a game away from the tenth position occupied by the Atlanta Hawks. Will they try something to secure that postseason berth?
