Brooklyn Nets: DeMarre Carroll a big piece in playoff push

DeMarre Carroll will be entering his second season with the Nets. He was acquired via trade with the Toronto Raptors in July 2017.

Many considered Carroll a salary dump by Toronto, but the 6-foot-8 forward proved them wrong. He had a career season, averaging 29.9 minutes, 13.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

Heading into the offseason, rumors started to swirl regarding Carroll and a possible trade. Instead, Nets general manager Sean Marks decided to trade Jeremy Lin to the Atlanta Hawks to free up $12.5 million in cap space.
