The clock is counting down to Thursday’s 3 p.m. Eastern trade deadline and teams around the league are rushing to find a way to address their biggest need. Currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, a playoff berth seems likely for the Brooklyn Nets for the first time in three seasons.
This has raised the question of whether or not this success should alter Brooklyn’s plans at the deadline.
This is a valid question as the Nets have turned heads around the league this season and a competitive playoff showing could go a long way in the eyes of free agents.
