In a series of tweets after midnight, Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Sean Marks has ended the Nets backcourt logjam, added two bigs and a first rounder in next year’s draft. The Nets traded Jeremy Lin and Isaiah Whitehead, swapped second rounders with Atlanta and engineered a salary dump that will have them take on Kenneth Faried, Darrell Arthur in exchange for a first round pick.
In short,
—the Nets traded Jeremy Lin to the Hawks for a swap of second rounders, freeing up $12.5 million in cap space;
—the Nets then traded Isiah Whitehead to the Nuggets for Kenneth Faried, Darrell Arthur in a salary dump that also yielded the Nets a protected first round pick in 2019, their second.
