Brooklyn Revolution is a revolutionary podcast covering the Brooklyn Nets. On Episode 13, Sandy Mui and Ben Nadeau discuss how the Isaiah Thomas/Kyrie Irving trade affects the Nets and the latest free agency rumors.
In this long, arduous offseason, the Brooklyn Nets have only traded for players. However, last week, they were indirectly affected by another trade involving two Eastern Conference teams: the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers. With their 2018 first-round pick included in the deal, much of the speculation about who won the trade has revolved around the Nets’ anticipated performance next season. Additionally, while the Nets have not signed any free agents, one name (a big!) has sprung up in recent rumors.
