One potential trade with each Atlantic Division team: Brooklyn Nets

After a quiet year, the Brooklyn Nets are looking to make some noise with a healthy Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. The Philadelphia 76ers are in a similar boat as well after retooling the roster this offseason. However, the Sixers are a dynamic point guard way from truly contending and the Nets have one to spare in Spencer Dinwiddie.

Let’s be clear, the only way that Brooklyn makes the hypothetical trade above is if Dinwiddie forced his way out and wanted to play for the Sixers. Otherwise, the Nets would probably include him in a deal for a bigger star. That being said, let’s work under the assumption Dinwiddie forces his way to the 76ers.

For those who don’t like this deal because Matisse Thybulle is included, trust me I get it. However, he would have to be in this deal because of money and how he’s a great young prospect that could fit with Irving and Durant.

However, he alone isn’t enough so the Sixers would have to send a lottery protect pick with him makes the deal much balanced. Adding Mike Scott and Furkan Korkmaz to the trade is for salary reasons more or less because outside of their 3-point shooting, they probably won’t have much value to the Nets.

Philly gets Dinwiddie who can play off the ball and he performed at an All-Star level for most of last season. Last year, he averaged 20.6 points and 6.3 assists. While 30.8 percent from downtown isn’t great, but it’s passable, especially when he can create his own shot, something that the Sixers desperately need.

It doesn’t seem like an ideal trade for the Nets, but something they could agree to if Dinwiddie forces their hand.
