Nets Expected To Use Young Talent To Acquire Third Star

The Brooklyn Nets are expected to continue to reshape their roster around Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

\"I believe they have telegraphed they intend to use some of their young talent to acquire a third star along with Kyrie and Durant,\" said Brian Windhorst. \"Now, we can get enter a healthy debate here about whether Caris LeVert is that third star and they make the decision that he is. But my feel reading the tea leaves, paying attention to what Sean Marks has said and also being aware of some conversations they had at the trade deadline, which was sticking the toe in the water on some things, I think they\'re going to swing for the fences whenever the season comes. They\'re going to have to potentially hire a coach that is going to help them do that.\"

The Nets\' two biggest trade chips are believed to be LeVert and Jarrett Allen, though Spencer Dinwiddie could be another player they can trade to acquire a third star. Dinwiddie has been a solid backup for Irving, who has also filled in due to injuries. 

Bradley Beal and Jrue Holiday are two players mentioned by Windhorst as possible targets as they\'re a pair of players who could become available on the trade market.
