The Brooklyn Nets have the salary cap space to take on a player such as Josh McRoberts, and depending upon whether the Miami Heat sweeten the deal, it could be worth Brooklyn’s time to consider this.
McRoberts doesn’t hold a ton of value, and he alone wouldn’t take the Nets to another level this season. He can be a serviceable backup, or even start if needed, but the Nets would likely need more in a trade. For Miami, trading McRoberts would provide needed cap space.
The need to move McRoberts comes from the Heat’s ongoing struggle to re-sign Dwyane Wade.
