The Brooklyn Nets are in the midst of a decisive offseason, focusing on their future with ample draft picks and salary cap flexibility. Key to their strategy is the potential trade of center Nic Claxton, who has garnered interest from the Los Angeles Lakers. With all Lakers' center options entering free agency, the team is exploring trades for Claxton and other players like Robert Williams and Walker Kessler, aiming to secure a reliable starting center. Claxton, 26, had a solid season with averages of 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game, showcasing his efficiency from the field. The Lakers may consider using their taxpayer midlevel exception on a backup, possibly targeting Brook Lopez or Clint Capela.
