How do the Nets solve roster balance and cap crunch this offseason? Here's how:

https://tradenba.com/trades/YGEg2ZQJO

Nets trade Prince/Dinwiddie/Allen/Musa/Kurucs/21TOR2nd for Covington/Green/Shamet/Nwaba
Brooklyn adds low-usage defenders to complement their offensive prowess.
Irving, (Harris), Covington, Durant, Jordan
Shamet, Temple, Levert, Nwaba, Green


Rockets trade Covington/Nwaba for Prince/Allen/Kurucs/20LAC2nd/21TOR2nd
Houston retools with rejuvenates the frontcourt in an MDA-less future.
Westbrook, Harden, Gordon, Prince, Allen
Rivers, McLemore, House, Kurucs, Tucker


Clippers trade Green/Shamet/20LAC2nd for Dinwiddie/Musa
Los Angeles attempts to add the missing ingredient to their championship bid.
Dinwiddie, George, Leonard, (Morris), Zubac
Beverly, Williams, Musa, Kagenbele, (Harrell)

No, not trading covington for this.

Almost no scenarios where Covington is traded.

Cut Houston out. Brooklyn could use Montrezl at around $15-$17M per year as a replacement for oft injured DJ and as a PF to help Durant stay in the wing (where he is more durable). Clips could use Dinwiddie and either Prince or Thomas. Simple swap with S&T.

Really bad deal for Houston. They get low level pieces that dont fit who will soon be up for contracts for Covington, who would be of interest to most of the league if available.

maybe the clipper do it? not sure how dinwiddie fits with Lou-will already there as super sub and 2 high volume ball handlers starting.

No offense, I'd rather have RoCo. Plus, if we accept Harrell via S&T, we'd be screwed for re-signing Harris due to the hard cap.

Trading for Trez (S&T) would not hurt your cap. Dinwiddie and Prince make up over $22M and Trez is $16M. Nets could sign Harris for $15M and still have $6M for the MLE & be $10M under the apron. Durant & Irving need scorers off the bench to keep them fresh.
