Who could pry Nic Claxton away from the Brooklyn Nets this offseason?
The Brooklyn Nets are at a crossroads. They've got to decide to push for a youth movement and begin a slow rebuild or re-sign Nic Claxton -- an unrestricted free agent -- and try and continue pushing toward eventual contention.
The Nets can begin to negotiate with Claxton as soon as the NBA Finals conclude, giving them a one- to two-week start over the other suitors, who have to wait until June 30 for that opportunity. Who could be pursuing the Nets center in free agency, though?First, let's see who even can offer enough to secure Claxton's services.
The Pistons and Magic are two potential competitors, though Orlando likely opts to secure a forward of some sort to help with spacing and scoring. The Pistons are in a weird spot, too. They've got decisions to make on their roster, which has plenty of young talent not yet capable of meshing, and an anchor of a center doesn't quite solve any immediate issues.
