Nets in decline as trade deadline looms
Roster could get reshaped ahead of Thursday's game vs. Cavs
Now that they’re done with Reunion Week at Downtown’s Barclays Center, the Brooklyn Nets hope to get back to some normalcy and, even more importantly, winning in their own building when they host the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday night.
That is, if they don’t undergo a roster overhaul or at least a tweak ahead of the looming NBA trade deadline.
Losers of nine of their last 12 home games, including happy homecomings by superstars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, the Nets hope to avoid falling a season-worst 11 games below .500 when they take on one of their potential suitors for a deal before 3 p.m. Thursday.
