Report: Nets Have Reached out to Raptors With Trade Interest
The Brooklyn Nets aren't done yet.
On the heels of trading Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks, Brooklyn has reportedly reached out to the Toronto Raptors with interest in another deal, according to SNY's Ian Begley.
It's unclear who the Nets would be targeting from Toronto, but it's possible Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent Jr. are now on their radar having moved on from Irving. Both Raptors guards would help replace some of the ball handling and shot-making Brooklyn gave up for Dorian Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie.
Brooklyn acquired Dallas' 2029 first-round pick in the Irving deal and now has multiple future first-round picks late in the decade it can try to entice the Raptors into a deal with.
O.G. Anunoby's price will likely be too high for Brooklyn who doesn't have the young assets or near-term picks to pique Toronto's interest.
Toronto is expected to wait until its West Coast road trip ends Sunday night before returning home and making a final decision ahead of the Feb. 9 trade deadline.
The Phoenix Suns, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, and New York Knicks have all been mentioned as teams potentially interested in one of Toronto's available players.
