With Dennis Schroder traded on the first day of trade season — December 15, the Brooklyn Nets are every pundit’s favorite to make the next big deal, this one involving teammates Dorian Finney-Smith or maybe Cam Johnson. The tank, after all, is on.
But Sean Marks & co. are notoriously quite close-mouthed this time of year with most rumors emanating from other teams (we see you, Houston) or agents. As one league source told ND, “Any deal they do won’t get leaked before they do it. Did anyone have Dennis deal before it was done?”
And of course this is also the time of year when reporters whose names fans barely knew a few days ago are suddenly imbued with the wisdom and contacts of the former Woj.
