Things may get intense this week on the trade front. Another batch of players — 17 in all — who have been ineligible to be dealt will become available Wednesday. And no team has been as active as the Brooklyn Nets so far this trade season. Already, Dennis Schroder, Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton have been shipped out while D’Angelo Russell, a couple of young guys, Reece Beekman and Maxwell Lewis, and six second rounders have arrived at Barclays Center. The most prominent name, of course, is Cam Johnson.
We also now have dates for the NBA Lottery, May 12, and the NBA Draft Combine, May 11-18 (both in Chicago) that will garner a lot of Nets fans attention.
