Nets may be able to pull off 2025 NBA Draft trade with the Rockets
Nets may be able to pull off 2025 NBA Draft trade with the Rockets The Brooklyn Nets have a number of matters to attend to ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft in June, especially with them having four picks in the first round. Brooklyn did not get the result they were hoping for in the Lottery as they ended up with the eighth overall pick, but it seems like there may be an opportunity for them to get another bite at the Lottery apple. Brian Lewis of the New York Post reported earlier this month that the prevailing belief from other teams is that the Nets could be trying to acquire another Lottery pick in this Draft. Lewis' reporting seemingly confirmed what NBA insider Jake Fischer reported in that Brooklyn was assumed to be a team looking to move up while Lewis left the door open for the Nets to potentially use forward Cam Johnson to get something else in the Draft. "So league sources expect the Rockets to look into trading this pick, whether it's a trade way up, a trade out for a star or a trade out for a group of future picks similar to what the Spurs received from the Timberwolves when Minnesota moved up for Rob Dillingham last year," Yahoo! Sports' Kevin O'Conner reported during his latest mock draft article. For those who need a refresher, the Minnesota Timberwolves traded first-round picks in 2030 and 2031 to the San Antonio Spurs on the night of the Draft in exchange for the right to draft Rob Dillingham with the eighth overall pick. If the Rockets were looking to trade back in the Draft or out of it completely, the Nets have the 19th, 26th, and 27th overall picks in this draft along with plenty of first-round picks to use in the next few years. While O'Connor's report could give Brooklyn the hope that they can acquire another first-round pick in the Lottery, it's fair to note that Houston could do a number of things with the 10th overall pick, including trading up in the draft or using it to get Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Ironically, the last time the Nets and the Rockets did business together, it involved swapping picks to help each franchise get what they wanted.

Report: Nets regarded as team to trade up in 2025 NBA Draft
The Brooklyn Nets came away from Monday's 2025 NBA Draft Lottery with the disappointing result of the eighth overall pick in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft. Brooklyn went into the event with the knowledge that the odds weren't in their favor, but with the festivities unfolding like they did, the Nets could be looking for a way to overcome the setback. Following the events of Monday's Lottery, the Nets have been regarded as one of the teams that could look to move up in the upcoming Draft, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer on Tuesday, via The Stein Line. Assuming that Brooklyn is looking to get a better draft pick, they do have some extra draft capital to work with to possibly entice one of the teams ahead of them into trading back. Advertisement The teams ahead of the Nets in the Draft order are the Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers, Charlotte Hornets, Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards, and New Orleans Pelicans. Time will tell if any of these teams would be willing to trade back in the Draft, especially with teams like the Hornets, Jazz, and Wizards being in the same position as Brooklyn in terms of needing as much talent as possible. The good news is that the NBA has a history of draft picks being traded considering that in the 2024 NBA Draft as six players who were drafted in the first round were the result of trades. Depending on how far the Nets want to move up in the Draft, that could change the price of what Brooklyn would have to give up in order to make their dream come true if their intent is to trade up. For example, the Minnesota Timberwolves traded two first-round picks, a 2030 pick swap and a 2031 first-round pick, to the Spurs for guard Rob Dillingham, who was taken with the eighth overall pick in the Draft. After what the Mavericks went through this season with the Luka Doncic trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, they are probably not keen on trading Duke forward Cooper Flagg. However, San Antonio or Philadelphia could be looking to make some moves. This article originally appeared on Nets Wire: Report: Nets regarded as team to trade up in 2025 NBA Draft

Lakers vs Timberwolves Game 5: Live updates and highlights
Lakers vs Timberwolves Game 5: Live updates and highlights The Los Angeles Lakers need to win or go home on Wednesday in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The scene shifts to Arena, but the momentum remains with the young and ravenous Timberwolves. The Timberwolves were able to outlast Los Angeles in both of the last two games to take a three-games-to-one series lead. Meanwhile, L.A. faltered down the stretch, both offensively and in terms of decision-making. It made some key miscues in crunch time of both games, and while there was some questionable officiating, it only has itself to blame for losing both contests. If the Lakers manage to win on Wednesday, Game 6 will be back at Target Center on Friday. Check back here for the latest updates and highlights from Wednesday's game.

Lakers vs Timberwolves Game 2: Live updates and highlights
The Los Angeles Lakers will look to even their first-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves when Game 2 of the matchup takes place on Tuesday at Arena. Los Angeles lost Game 1 by a final score of 117-95 and got beaten pretty badly in several categories. Perhaps its worst deficiency came on the boards, where it gave up 11 offensive rebounds, which led to 23 second-chance points. The team also has a lot of work to do on the offensive end after it shot a very poor 39.8% in Game 1 and only had one player reach the 20-point mark.
