Ben Simmons

Will the Nets stick with Irving and Simmons after the season? And what about Cam Thomas? Will the Nets turn to him with Kevin Durant out?

[John Collins](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/john-collins-clt53Cta3GNiC4xs/) and [Kyle Kuzma](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/kyle-kuzma-7x2ASMz0sv4qdd7u/) are two players the Nets would love to have. To my surprise, he didn’t list them as interested in former Net [Bojan Bogdanović](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/bojan-bogdanovic-TtD4HPxVGnoaeLuy/), who is currently with [Detroit](https://theathletic.com/nba/team/pistons/) and having a career year. [Russell Westbrook](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/russell-westbrook-6Eb0XPY16UzzJWbc/)? [NBA](https://theathletic.com/nba/) trade deadline? [Khris Middleton](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/khris-middleton-16EsAhBpQ9MB2dEC/)? [Jakob Poeltl](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/jakob-poeltl-wzkpB8YKmxhyMN2h/) isn’t as natural of a fit, but wouldn’t be bad either. [Cleveland](https://theathletic.com/nba/team/cavaliers/) found out quickly they weren’t getting [Celtics](https://theathletic.com/nba/team/celtics/) IT and flipped him before his value sunk even lower. [James Harden](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/james-harden-xj359Qh34ugWFbVp/)? [Draymond Green](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/draymond-green-qWchQbJAR0YQNMyV/) is a defensive-oriented player. [D’Angelo Russell](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/dangelo-russell-T78UXpDn5eShWlwg/) hasn’t been the same player since leaving Brooklyn. [Jordan Clarkson](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/jordan-clarkson-lZN2TqEprnwssIGM/) and [Larry Nance Jr.](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/larry-nance-jr-7CDgogl74yo30N8R/) (Imagine the Nets being able to trade for two guys like that right now). [since his suspension](https://theathletic.com/3915102/2022/11/20/kyrie-irving-nets-suspension-return-grizzlies/) – at least prior to the last two games – been enough for the organization to forget [all that came before it](https://theathletic.com/3759694/2022/11/03/kyrie-irving-nets-suspension-antisemitic-comments/)?
