The Brooklyn Nets are included here, almost as a token, because they emerged quickly after Shams’ report, and they have a bundle of assets to go get Fox.
“The Nets, per sources, are among the teams that view De’Aaron Fox as a trade target and have been monitoring the Fox situation in [Sacramento],” SNY’s Ian Begley wrote. “… Nets, obviously, have significant trade assets to use to acquire a player of Fox’s caliber.”
Yes, the Nets could pivot out of this rebuild and toward competing with a move like this. A core with Fox, Cameron Johnson and Nicolas Claxton, especially in the East, would at least be a tough out.
Giving up a shot at Cooper Flagg (or Dylan Harper or Ace Bailey) probably isn’t worth a handful more wins between now and June. Heck, the Nets could probably justify being bad again next year. AJ Dybantsa may be as big a get as anyone in the 2025 class.
