I’ve been told by a number of parties that the Nets are working to move Nic Claxton ahead of the 3 PM NBA Trade Deadline. Claxton has missed the Nets’ last 2 games with left hamstring tightness, and the Nets just acquired Andre Drummond and are expecting LaMarcus Aldridge back. – 2:04 PM

Windy says one reason the Nets acquired Andre Drummond in the Sixers is b/c they are looking to flip Nic Claxton (along with possibly the two first-round picks they hit from Philly) in the next 90 mins before the deadline arrives. – 1:38 PM

Nic Claxton (left hamstring tightness) has been upgraded to questionable for the #Nets. But on the eve of the #NBA trade deadline, James Harden (left hamstring tightness) is still out tomorrow vs the #Wizards. – 5:04 PM

James Harden is listed as out for tomorrow against the Wizards along with LaMarcus Aldridge. Nic Claxton is questionable. – 5:03 PM

Steve Nash said Nic Claxton is in a similar place with his hamstring as Harden. Adds it’s bit more of a confidence thing with Claxton’s hammy than with Harden’s. – 5:53 PM

More on this storyline

The Raptors have searched for a center on the market and expressed interest in trading for several centers, including Jakob Poeltl, Myles Turner, Robert Williams, Nicolas Claxton and Jusuf Nurkic. Toronto has all its first-round picks looking ahead, which can be dangled as trade bait for a potential starting-caliber center. The Raptors have flirted with the idea of moving a first-round pick to re-acquire Poeltl, HoopsHype has learned. San Antonio is seeking a first-round pick and a quality player for Poeltl, according to Marc Stein. Poeltl is averaging career-highs in points (13.3), rebounds (9.0), and assists (2.8) this season. -via HoopsHype / February 5, 2022
In efforts to bolster their roster around Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving, the Nets remain engaged in conversations regarding Jevon Carter, Bruce Brown and to a lesser extent Nic Claxton, sources said. -via Bleacher Report / January 27, 2022
