Isaia Cordinier was considered nothing more than a throw-in as part of last July’s trade in which the Brooklyn Nets shed Jeremy Lin‘s salary and gave up a second-round pick in 2025 and swap rights to a 2023 second-rounder.
At the time, the future of the 6-foot-4 French guard was in some doubt after he had missed the entire 2017-18 season after having surgery on both knees to try and correct some tendinitis issues that had been plaguing him.
Cordinier has had a solid bounce-back season with French club Antibes in the Jeep Elite league, the top-tier circuit in France.
