5 teams that should trade for Omri Casspi

4. Brooklyn Nets

The Nets are going nowhere fast this season,  they have a startling lack of talent at both forward spots and they’re toward the bottom of the league in 3-point shooting (22nd at 32.5 percent), so Casspi looks like a fit as well as a possible immediate starter.

In terms of playoff contention, going from Brooklyn to Sacramento is, at best, a lateral move for Casspi. The general level of ineptitude in the two organizations is also similar, which may turn Casspi off. But a fairly significant role should be available for Casspi with the Nets, and he could put up the kind of numbers that will enhance his value on the free agent market next summer.

Sometimes beggars can’t be choosers, so it would be fitting in some way to see Casspi get traded to the Nets. But he probably wouldn’t be buried on the bench by coach Kenny Atkinson, and that should be the most important thing for Casspi if he has the bigger picture in mind.
