NBA Trade Rumors 2017: Top 5 Best Trade Ideas for Deadline

No. 5 Nets Trade Bojan Bogdanovic to the Wizards for Trey Burke & a 2017 First Round Pick


Wizards Receive: SG Bojan Bogdanovic, Isaiah Whitehead


Nets Receive: PG Trey Burke, 2017 1st Round Pick


Why the Deal Works: The Wizards get the best player in the deal, but the Nets get another first round pick. Trey Burke's contract is expiring so the Nets have no obligation to keep him past this season if they choose not to. It looks like the Nets are going to have to swap first round picks with the Celtics. This trade would give the Nets two first round picks to try to package to move up into the late lottery. Washington has made it clear they are willing to part with their first round pick to strengthen their bench depth. They also acquire Whitehead to plug into Burke's backup point guard role. The Wizards sit as the three seed coming out of the All-Star break and are five games back from the Cavs. They are just two games back from the Celtics, and are looking to make a deep playoff run with their best team in recent memory.
