One silver lining to the Nets current stature is Brook Lopez, arguably a top five big man in the NBA. Should they dare risk it all once again, and trade away a valuable asset, what could they obtain?
Last season, Lopez averaged 20.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. He shot 47 percent from the field, and 35 percent from behind the arc.
Before the trade deadline, it was well known around the league that the Brooklyn big man was on the market. However, finding the middle ground regarding assets involved, proved harder than expected.
