Not done yet? New picks appear crucial to Nets plan to acquire player, keep Kevin Durant

The Nets will likely welcome Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith to Brooklyn Monday. A trade call is likely as soon as the league offices open in the morning, then physicals to officially close the deal.

But Monday won’t be the end of it, pundits are saying. That first round pick the Nets got in the Kyrie Irving deal — an unprotected pick in 2029 — could be critical to get added value by Thursday’s 3:00 p.m. ET deadline.

Adrian Wojnarowski, speaking at halftime of ESPN’s game coverage Sunday, said the Nets want to combine the two picks to make another move using these the Dallas pick as well as the 1-8 protected first “to get help around” KD.
