Nets do not have their own '21 2nd.

They have:

2021 second round draft pick from Atlanta
Atlanta's 2021 2nd round pick to Brooklyn [Atlanta-Brooklyn, 7/6/2019]

2021 second round draft pick from Indiana
Indiana's 2nd round pick to Brooklyn protected for selections 45-60 in 2021 and 45-60 in 2022 and unprotected in 2023 [Brooklyn-Indiana, 7/7/2016]

2021 second round draft pick from Phoenix
Phoenix's 2021 2nd round pick to Memphis protected for selections 36-60 or to Brooklyn protected for selections 31-35 (Phoenix's obligation to Memphis or Brooklyn will thereafter be extinguished) [Brooklyn-Phoenix, 7/20/2018; Memphis-Phoenix, 7/7/2019]

2021 second round draft pick from Toronto
Toronto's 2021 2nd round pick to Brooklyn [Brooklyn-Toronto, 2/7/2019]

New man in charge. All bets are off.

I view him as a decent bench guy who was miscast as a starter.

I’m surprised by the move.

I hate this for Detroit. Hard working guy. Steal for Brooklyn.

I like this move for Brooklyn. Brown is at least a rotation player which is more than we know about Musa or Toronto's 2021 2nd

Don't know a damn thing about Musa, but Brown is worth more than a second. At least it's a 2021.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

This feels like Brooklyn just fleeced Detroit.

Voted Brooklyn wins. I just question if Musa can break out, although he is young and Detroit can give him the opportunity to.

Good move from Brooklyn and it looks like Detroit is attempting to shed some salary and get higher upside pieces for a mediocre role player.

Brown is going to be a great 5th guard in Brooklyn as a solid corner-3 shooter and strong defender.

Wonder what this means for Dinwiddie. Isn’t brown a point guard?

I think it's a solid gamble for Detroit.
Musa needs development. Brown is ok, but really just a bit better then replacement level and a guy that Detroit will easily replace over their rebuild. He's much more useful for the Nets.

Brown is more similar to Caris Levert, with less offensive creation ability but significantly better defense.

Kinda sorta.

We used him as one out of necessity, but he came in primarily as a 2 and we used him as one there often too.

I really liked Musa in that draft. Did he just come over too early? Was he two years from being two years away?

I did always think that Brown is a perfect fit for the next next to Kyrie/Durant.

Athletic defender and spot up shooting was increasing. Damn.
