Expose the Nets brewing a big move! Thomas is not available for trade without an early contract extension and the entire team is not for sale

On November 20, Beijing time, according to Sam Amick of the Athletic, sources revealed that even though the Nets started the season with some competitiveness (5-9, 20th in the league in net efficiency), they are expected to be open to the trade market in the rebuilding period. With the deadline almost three months away, there have been a lot of rumors around the league that the Nets will eventually become a place for other teams looking to upgrade.

Previously, Marc Stein of the Athletic has reported that Schroder, Finney-Smith and Bojan Bogdanovic are the Nets veterans most frequently mentioned by other teams, and they are expected to be sent away before the February 7 trade deadline. The Nets' current record is higher than expected, which is one of the reasons why management may want to trade some of the core.

Amick said the Nets could trade far beyond these veterans. Thomas, who is currently averaging 24.6 points per game, has not signed an early contract extension with the team, and it is widely believed that he can be traded. Claxton agreed a four-year, $100 million contract extension with the Nets last season, but the Nets' long-term plans mean no one is for sale. Cameron Johnson is another target that will be of interest to other teams, and he has shown the ability to compete for a championship during his time with the Suns. So far this season, Johnson has averaged 16.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, shooting 38.1% from three-point range.

If the Nets make a big trade, send away some of their main rotation players, and get into the swing as soon as possible, they could use more bench players and Choi Young-hee could expect more playing time. So far this season, Choi Yong-hee has played three times, adding up to only 4 minutes and 22 seconds, shooting 0-of-1 from the field and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring a total of 1 point. Next, Choi Yong-hee will soon make his G League debut, striving to win opportunities for himself with better performances.
