After failing to expand the Kyrie Irving deal to land a top-tier player, the Brooklyn Nets have made another trade.
The Nets opened a roster spot as they sent two-way player Kessler Edwards plus cash considerations to the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.
Shams Charania of The Athletic first reported the trade.
The move saved the Nets roughly $8 million in salary and luxury tax. But it could also be a precursor of another deal as Thursday’s trade deadline approaches.
Brooklyn intends to reshape its roster around its remaining superstar Kevin Durant, who is reportedly engaged in conversations with Nets owner Joe Tsai and GM Sean Marks on the direction of the franchise following Irving’s departure.
