Trade rumors continue to surround the Brooklyn Nets, who seem to be in the process of rebuilding. The latest involves trade interests from other teams \u00a0in Dennis Schroder<\/a> and Dorian Finney-Smith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nets Likely To Receive Picks For Schroder And Finney-Smith<\/h2>\n

The Nets have received interest and have had \u2018exploratory conversations\u2019 about Schroder, Finney-Smith, and Cam Johnson<\/a>, according to ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania<\/a>. However, the team will make any moves with strategic consideration and seek proper value in return.<\/p>\n

According<\/a> to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, if the Nets trade Schroder, they will be looking to seek first-round draft capital. Schroder and Finney-Smith combine to make $27.8 million, an attainable figure for various contending teams.<\/p>\n

Subject of Trade Rumors<\/h3>\n

The subject of numerous trade rumors this season, Schroder, 31, is respected throughout the league for his leadership. He has played on seven NBA teams in 12 seasons. He is averaging 18.6 points per game, 3.0 rebounds, and 6.5 assists while being a key factor in the Nets\u2019 better-than-expected performance this season. Next summer, he will become an unrestricted free agent when his $13 million contract expires.<\/p>\n

Finney-Smith, 31, came to the Nets as part of the deal that sent Kyrie Irving<\/a> to Dallas. He has contributed significantly to the Nets\u2019 defense this season while averaging 10.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. His contract has a player option for next season, which will allow him to earn around $15.4 million if exercised.<\/p>\n

His name has frequently surfaced in trade rumors. In October, he discussed his conversations with the Nets\u2019 management and coaches. Finney-Smith said<\/a>,<\/p>\n

“I spoke to Sean [Marks], I spoke to coaches. They’ve been really open, and I appreciate that. There’s lots of times in this league, coaches won’t say anything to you, and they just try to sweep it under the rug like your name ain’t all over the internet.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trade Interests In Schroder and Finney-Smith<\/h3>\n

The Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers are two teams rumored to be closely monitoring the Nets. Both franchises are looking to get back on track, with both teams hoping to make a deep run in the postseason. The Lakers are looking to strengthen their frontcourt, while the Warriors are looking to add more scoring<\/a> to their roster.<\/p>\n

The Warriors have reportedly<\/a> shown trade interests in Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith.\u00a0 The team is also interested in Cam Johnson. Schroder could provide assistance to Steph Curry<\/a> with playmaking. The team is reportedly<\/a> open to using their injured guard, De\u2019Anthony Melton<\/a>\u2019s expiring $12.8 million contract as part of a deal.<\/p>\n

No Trade Discussions Confirmed<\/h3>\n

The Nets have not confirmed any trade discussions. However, if they trade away Ben Simmons<\/a>, Bojan Bogdanovic<\/a>, and Schroder, their cap space going into the summer of 2025 will be around $70 million. The upcoming draft class is full of young talent that could improve<\/a> the Nets in years to come.<\/p>\n

Whether with the Nets or another team, Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith offer significant value. Both players are demonstrating their desire to remain with the Nets. They will just have to wait and see if they fit into the team\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n
