Haywood Highsmith is currently a member of the Brooklyn Nets, and while I think the Nets should try to add as many NBA-caliber players as possible to one of the worst rosters in recent NBA history, I also don't think Highsmith will start the year as a member of this team, which is fully in the "asset gathering" stage of a rebuild. If Highsmith is on the trade block, Daryl Morey should pick up the phone and not hang it up until Highsmith is on a flight to Philly.
Trading for Highsmith — which can likely be done for a few future second-round picks — would accomplish two things for Morey and the Sixers.
