As the 2020 NBA Trade Deadline draws near (Thursday at 3 p.m.) teams across the league are working to get deals done. However, the Brooklyn Nets have not been mentioned among the teams looking to get something done.
Now, the Nets could make some moves over the summer, but they have a large chunk of the pieces they need for the future with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving being at the center of things.
But just because the Nets are secure with its situation doesn’t mean other teams can’t inquire about some of Brooklyn’s assets — especially after Irving failed to mention some of his teammates when he was talking about the team’s plans for the future. Among those Brooklyn’s point guard didn’t mention when listing teammates off were Taurean Prince and Jarrett Allen.
Oddly enough, the Nets have been approached about the availability of the forward and center. According to Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer, the Houston Rockets proposed a deal to the Nets:
League sources say the Rockets offered Capela to the Nets for a package that included Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince, which Brooklyn declined.
Assuming the Nets pick up Allen’s option for 2021-22 like they did his option for next season, he and Prince are set to be in Brooklyn for another two seasons.
