Nets Trade Rumors: BKN Doesn't Want to Deal Joe Harris Despite Lakers Buzz

According to a report, the Brooklyn Nets don't want to deal Joe Harris because of the trade buzz connecting him to the LA Lakers.

The report was provided by Brian Lewis.

According to a league source, the Nets don't want to trade Joe. There are many different ways this can be played out.

According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the Lakers and Nets have been talking about a trade centered around Irving.

There is a sticking point about who the Nets would include.

The Nets want Harris in the deal, while the Lakers prefer Curry.

Harris has two years left on his contract. He played just 14 games last year due to an ankle injury and a pair of surgeries.

Harris shot 50.5 percent from three-point range and scored 14.1 points per game in 2020.

Harris' numbers went down in the injury-shortened 2021-22 campaign, but he is still a great scorer who helps spread the floor at his best.

Should Irving get dealt, the Lakers seem to be in front of the other teams. As the Nets and Lakers look to rebound after disappointing seasons, the question is what the trade package around Irving will be.
