Sean Kilpatrick or Bojan Bogdanovic for draft picks or assets
Sean Kilpatrick and Bojan Bogdanovic are two players who would be great additions to a playoff team or title contender. They can provide a spark, help with a team’s scoring load on the bench, or possibly even be on a team that needs a shooting guard or small forward, respectively.
Kilpatrick has carried over his great play from the end of last season into this year. He is averaging 13.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.

Bogdanovic is posting 14.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. He has taken his game another step higher, but the Nets may look to deal him, especially with his contract expiring after this season. He may look for a large deal once his contract ends, and because of that fact, he will need to show even more skills in order for his stats to translate into the win column for Brooklyn in the future.
Having a guy who provides nearly 14 points per game and solid rebounding and passing off the bench could be very vital for a team who needs a playmaker such as the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, Cleveland cannot currently acquire Bogdanovic for a developmental piece such as Kay Felder or Jordan McRae due to salary cap implications. Cleveland could part with Iman Shumpert to make the cap situation work, but to this point there hasn’t been any indication of a deal along these lines.
