Over the last few years, the Brooklyn Nets have made plenty of noise as they look to build an NBA title contender. This year, there has not been as much chatter considering they have a team in place that has what it takes to win it all. If the Nets did look for a trade, it is likely that it would not be a blockbuster but still effective moving forward.

Brooklyn is currently near the top of the Eastern Conference. This is a position that they have gotten used to over the years but injuries have derailed their title hopes.

They are hoping that the same does not happen this time around. Kevin Durant was putting together an MVP-caliber season before injuring his knee. He has missed the previous six games and will sit out All-Star Weekend as he continues to rehab that knee. It is still early enough that this should not impact the postseason.

Kyrie Irving has returned to the lineup, for road games anyway. The Nets have some competition at the top of the conference but they still have to be considered the team to beat because of pure starpower.
