The Athletic recently offered up a trade between the Brooklyn Nets and Detroit Pistons in exchange for the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft.

There’s little question the Nets need more direction moving forward under new head coach Jordi Fernandez.

Be that landing a star via the free agency market or positioning themselves for the future by acquiring draft capital, picking a lane would do wonders for Brooklyn’s long-term success. After both acquiring and shipping off the star trio of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving, it's draft stash has been left somewhat depleted, with no 2024 picks.Nets get: 2024 Pistons First-Round Pick Jaden Ivey, Jalen DurenThe trade’s interesting on several fronts. Despite the No.

Additionally, Ivey and Duren are two strong pieces, the former being the No. 5 overall pick in 2022 and the latter going just a few picks later at No. 13. While they haven’t been able to evolve in Detroit, Brooklyn would offer a fresh start with a new environment to grow and hone their skills. There’s no question Bridges is a pivotal asset to Brooklyn’s team. But his inability to function as the No. 1 scoring option could offer problems down the road that arose in the 32-win season.GAME DAY PREVIEW AND INJURY REPORT: The Milwaukee Bucks play their second game in two nights, host the Brooklyn NetsCam Thomas talks about how impactful Dennis Schroder is to the Nets locker room
