Something like this...and I don't know if this is even possible.If you ignore the Simmons trade in that, the team has a chance at being incredible if Simmons comes back with some semblance of a shot.
-Nets get a third team in the Kyrie and Westbrook trade. Something like Indiana gets Westbrook and two future Laker first round picks. Nets get Turner and stuff. Indiana starts a re-set and gets two future Lakers picks as they look to be one of the bad teams.
-KD to PHX, Mitchell and Bridges to the Nets plus picks, and Utah gets Ayton and picks.
Then I could see a Simmons trade. But Dinwiddie would need to be in that trade plus stuff.
So the Nets are left with a starting lineup of Turner, Bridges, Royce O'neal, Mitchell and Dinwiddie. Not a bad team. Not contender worthy but at lease sane.
