The Brooklyn Nets made a major move this offseason by trading Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks, signaling a full rebuild for the team. Despite this, the Nets are not done making moves as they look to reshape their roster. Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly trying to add talent to their roster led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis, after struggling in free agency. They have been exploring trade avenues with teams like the Nets, among others.
According to reports, the Lakers have been discussing potential deals with teams like Portland, Brooklyn, and Utah. This presents an opportunity for Brooklyn to capitalize on as they still have players like Cam Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith who could help teams like the Lakers. The Nets have up to six players on their roster who are considered trade candidates now that the team is committed to a rebuild.
It remains to be seen whether a player from the Nets will end up on the Lakers next season, but it seems like Los Angeles is open to doing business with Brooklyn. This potential trade partnership could benefit both teams as they look to improve their rosters for the upcoming season.
