Bruce Brown’s success an unexpected bonus from Nets ‘other’ trade this season

Everyone knows about the Nets BIG trade of the 2020-21 season: the arrival of James Harden and the departure of Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince and a slew of picks and swaps. But two months earlier, Sean Marks sent out the Nets first rounder in the 2020 Draft, Dzanan Musa, a second rounder and the rights to two late second round picks in a three-team deal for Bruce Brown, Landry Shamet and Reggie Perry.

Brown and Shamet, of course, were the key pieces. In the deal, the Nets thought they were getting a young 3-point shooter and a young on-ball defender.
