The Nets are one of the more active teams on the trade market, sources tell Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer.
Joe Harris, Seth Curry and/or Patty Mills could potentially be on the move due to their short-term salaries and reduced roles, O’Connor notes. Beyond that, they could only dangle young players Day’Ron Sharpe and Cam Thomas, their 2028 or 2029 first-round pick, and a future first-rounder from Philadelphia in 2027 or 2028.
We have more on the New York teams:
- The Nets’ Ben Simmons says that coach Jacque Vaughn hasn’t really informed him why he’s often been on the bench in late-game situations, Brian Lewis of the New York Post tweets. “I really had no message from him. I think it’s more just wherever team needs,” Simmons said. “When we’re winning I have no problem with it; if we’re losing then I got an issue.”
- Speaking of Simmons, Vaughn says he expects him to be more consistent in the second half of the season, according to Nick Friedell of ESPN. Simmons had a 10-point third quarter against Philadelphia on Wednesday and the coach wants to see that offensive aggression more often. “That’s the goal,” Vaughn said. “That’s where we’re going to get him to, where each possession he has to be dealt with on both ends of the floor. Where you feel him on both ends of the floor and he imposes his will and has an impact on every single possession, which he has the ability to do. That’s where we’re going to get to, that’s the challenge and we’re going to continue to expect it from him.”
- Knicks owner James Dolan figures it’ll be another month or so before center Mitchell Robinson returns to action, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News relays (Twitter link). In a Fox5 interview, Dolan said the Knicks will have to “make it through the next four weeks” without Robinson. Robinson underwent thumb surgery last week and is expected to be reevaluated in approximately two weeks.
For a decade Tony Parker either lead the league or top 5 for points in the paint. For a guy (Simmons) who can’t shoot it seems like the Spurs would make the most sense to get the most out of Simmons talents.
Simmons to the Magic. Simmons, Paolo, Franz, Bol Bol (or J Isaac), Carter Jr. 6’10 team
It really is a major letdown that just as Mitchell Robinson was starting to come into his own, and just as he was starting to reach his potential he gets hit with injuries.
Hope he’s able to make it back and stay healthy, dude could truly become a force down low for the Knicks, and they’re definitely missing his presence. Any team would with as solid as he’s become as a low post defender..
That’s how Robinson’s whole career has gone unfortunately
He really doesn’t know why? Dude how delusion is he?
Fyyy Boston ……..
120 – 117 ….. yup
Great game. Almost gave it away at the end again. RJ was almost invisible until that big three pointer but played well after and in OT. Randle was a beast and he’s been great this year.
Just one of 82.
You know I’ve had it with Randle. But I agree he’s having a great yr.
RJ is not one to demand the ball. He is clutch for sure and that is good fit NY to have a big 3. We shall see how they can add in trade. They have assets to get Anyone who is on the trading block.
Simmons has no idea??? How about you can’t shoot a 4 ft layup moron. Ray Charles will drain 3 pointers b4 you can make a 10 ft jumper!!! Thats if you can summon the courage to even attempt a 5 ft jump shot.
Simmons should be a Timberwolve as bad a shooter as he is!!!!!!!!!!!!!
