          Trade targets: All 30 teams

          Brooklyn Nets

          Record: 14-39
          14th place in East

          Status: Sellers

          This is, to paraphrase the captain of the Titanic, kind of a mess.

          The Nets don't have a lot with which to barter. Also, they might not really have a barterer, with the front office currently run by interim GM Frank Zanin.

          That said, at least two current Nets could be difference-makers for teams trying to win now, or even for rebuilding teams. Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young are still just 27, have been key players for winning teams in the past and could be again.
