The new Bruce Brown helping Nets deal with all manner of issues and he’s happier for it

Officially, the Nets trade with the 76ers brought them Ben Simmons, Andre Drummond, Seth Curry, two first round picks and generated a couple of trade exceptions. While Simmons has yet to play, Drummond and Curry have played well.

Unofficially, though, the Nets got another piece in the deal for James Harden and Paul Millsap: a revived Bruce Brown. After DeAndre’ Bembry had to be cut to balance out the roster, Brown has become much the same player he was last season... and more. You can’t call it a rejuvenation. After all, Brown is only 25.

Since the February 10 blockbuster, Brown has rejoined the starting lineup and averaged 13.
