When it comes to trades for the Brooklyn Nets, the obvious focus is on Kevin Durant. The superstar former MVP requested a trade back on June 30, but the Nets have yet to find an offer that fits their obvious high price tag for the future Hall of Famer.
At the moment, the Nets have a strong roster on paper. They have two legitimate superstars in Durant and Kyrie Irving as well as an All-Star guard in Ben Simmons and sharpshooting around them in Joe Harris, Seth Curry, and Patty Mills. If the Nets enter the 2022-23 season with this roster, one has to feel good about their chances.
With that being said, it’s the dull part of the NBA offseason so it’s high mock trade season. This fake trade comes from Bleacher Report and it has the Nets moving Simmons to the Atlanta Hawks in a deal.
