What is the story about?
The
trade deadline came and went on Thursday. In a decade worth of deadlines, Sean Marks doesn’t typically make a big midseason move unless his hand is forced (e.g. Big 3 trades). The loudest move he made at this year’s deadline wasn’t a trade — they waived Cam Thomas. There were other moves, too.
Here’s a summary of where things stand for the Nets after the NBA trade deadline:
The players the Nets acquired:
- Ochai Agbaji
