Landing D-Loading

Brooklyn Nets receive: SF/PF Tobias Harris, SF Sam Dekker, PG Jawun Evans, SG Sindarius Thornwell, 2018 12th overall draft pick, 2018 13th overall draft pick
LA Clippers receive: PG D’Angelo Russell, PG Jeremy Lin, SG Caris LeVert, C Jarrett Allen

This would be a massive trade. The Nets would have to fully invest in Tobias Harris and whatever players they would choose with the picks. The Clippers could restart young with a new promising, young back court in LeVert and Russell. Jarrett Allen also has a lot of potential and could eventually be one of the best centers in the league. Jeremy Lin would be a temporary piece for the Clippers, and Patrick Beverley may not be around for much longer, so Russell could take the reigns of the team. This would be a future altering move that would require a lot of thinking.
