Even the KD one sucked if you ask me.
Traded all your foreseeable draft picks and two young players for these guys. Team has no assets outside of the only guy that showed up tonight.
Way to make a splash Mr new Billionaire owner.
At least with KD you could justify it by the fact that he is an all-time great player. Beal was solid starter at best, who happens to play the same position as their second best player. It was just a stupid trade that made zero sense on the court, and even less sense because they effectively stripped away any remaining depth from their roster. It was a KG and Paul Pierce trade the Nets made all over again.
Thats the thing, I dont think you could justify it (at that time) based on what KD was at one point. He was what 33 yrs old with all those injuries and mileage? He was never a physical specimen to begin with. This is what the Suns gave up, just for him:
Nets receive:
Mikal Bridges
Cameron Johnson
2023 first-round pick (from Phoenix)
2025 first-round pick (from Phoenix)
2027 first-round pick (from Phoenix)
2028 first-round pick swap (from Phoenix)
2029 first-round pick (from Phoenix)
