Claxton is a free agent this year and will hit free agency due to extension limitations. Nets might balk at paying 20+mil for him and won't want to lose him for nothing.
They have a glut of forwards in O'Neal, DFS, Johnson, and Mikal, and they are certainly not a contender. They're getting a 1st and 3 young guys that can develop into something and/or be able to flip for even more assets later down the road.
It's a light trade but I can see a team like the Nets wanting a guy like Josh Green and Hardy, 2 guys that can move the ball. Currently they only have Dinwiddie as a PG.
Another variation I have is sending THJ to Orlando for a 1st and Gary Harris. Then reroute those 2 to the Nets and we keep Maxi and our 2027. Or even send 2027 along with the Orlando first if that's what it takes.
I really like this trade for depth and flexibility.
