During the offseason of 2013, the Brooklyn Nets were the talk of the league. They’d just brought in a bunch of new faces, including a brand new head coach. But after spending more than $100 million in luxury tax and not having much to show for it, the luster is gone. So is the new head coach.
The roster is decent but has probably hit it’s ceiling. Because of this, some key names are reportedly on the trading block.
The Brooklyn Nets have begun reaching out to teams to let them know that former All-Stars Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson are available via trade, ESPN.com has learned.
League sources told ESPN.com that the Nets, off to a disappointing 8-11 start and looking to retool after last season’s $190 million roster filled with veterans couldn’t advance beyond the second round of the playoffs, have let it be known that they are prepared to move any of those franchise cornerstones in what would likely be separate deals if they came to fruition because of the high salaries each possess.
