The Nets are considering a trade with Clarkston for a contract extension for Harden

The season has been a disaster for the Nets, first Harden is in a slump, Irving was banned, and now Durant has also suffered an injury, resulting in the team has been unable to play a satisfactory record, as the trade deadline approaches, the Nets are also considering changing the current lineup.

Clarkston

According to today's report from espn reporters, according to the relevant insiders, the Nets have begun to test the value of Clarkston's trade, and in the offseason last year, the Nets wanted to trade Claxton, but ultimately did not succeed. In addition, the likes of Daron Sharp, Thomas, and Carter can be traded when the chips are right.

As the 31st pick selected interior player in the first round of 2019, Clarkston in the third year of this year has improved very obviously, averaging 22 minutes per game this season, can hand over a 9.2 points + 5.5 rebounds + 1 assist data, although the offensive means are insufficient, the scoring is mainly based on eating cakes, but Clarkston has taken on a lot of defensive responsibilities in the team, and can use flexible steps to align multiple positions.

For the Nets, the weakest position in the current lineup is the interior line, so why consider trading with Clarkston? Many people speculate on this to clear the way for the renewal of Harden' contract. Because after the end of the season, Clarkston's rookie contract will face expiration, the Nets' primary goal is to renew Harden's contract, rather than let Clarkston leave the team in vain, it is better to exchange for some future chips now.

Of course, at present, the Nets are only in the tentative stage, and there is still a long way to go before the real deal is reached. In addition, according to the reporter's revelations yesterday, Harden has not been iron-hearted to stay in the Nets, if he chooses to leave the team this summer, then the Nets are empty.
