“‘They could, in fact, find their upcoming offseasons tied together. That’s if decision-makers in Brooklyn and Atlanta decide to check back in on very preliminary talks the two had over the winter about forward John Collins, who has been very much available for a trade for the past year.
The Nets have had interest in Collins. But getting the pieces for a deal just right has proven impossible, and will likely remain so—unless there is a willingness to go big.
‘The Nets want some guys who can score, and (Collins) can score. But the only way they (the Nets) can really do something big, can really get someone who can score in there, is if they can get a taker for Ben Simmons,’ one league executive told Heavy Sports. ‘There aren’t a lot of teams where that would make sense, but Atlanta is one of them, because you need to build a defensive group around Trae Young.
‘Now, if you’re the Nets, you still have to convince Atlanta that Simmons wants to play. Obviously, that is the question around him right now.'”

Oh, I see. We want to unload Ben and they want to unload Collins. So we take their crap and give them ours. It’s a crap swap.

2nd half of this article is the interesting part. Nets looking to add a scorer. Thomas could be an internal option. Wouldn’t mind signing VanVleet, but think they would need to clear some cap space to do so.

I want to see Ben play in the next season instead of trading him , if he disappoints again trade him at the deadline

I don’t see a point in selling Ben low. Let him get healthy and see if he can get back to somewhere near where he was. Otherwise we’re just dumping picks to offload him at a time where we’re not look to compete anyway If it’s the same towards the end of next season, we can trade him low. There’s no urgency
