The trade deadline is still nearly three months away, but there is plenty of chatter about Brooklyn being the place to go for contending teams looking for upgrades when that crucial time of roster-building finally arrives. League sources say the rebuilding Nets are expected to be open for business, even with this competitive start (5-9; 20th in net rating) in which first-year coach Jordi Fernandez has made good use of the available talent.

Fourth-year gunner Cam Thomas (24.6 points per game) failed to come to terms on an extension and is widely considered to be available, but Brooklyn’s list of possibilities hardly ends there. They have proven vets like Dennis Schröder and Bojan Bogdanovicć who has yet to play this season because of left foot surgery but is progressing toward a return.

Big man Nic Claxton signed a four-year, $100 million extension last summer, but the reality of the Nets’ long-term plans means no one is likely off the table. Cam Johnson showed an ability to produce for a contender during his Phoenix tenure, and the 28-year-old small forward (16.9 points per; 38.1 percent from three on 7.5 attempts per) surely remains intriguing for those sorts of teams. You get the idea.

Nets general manager Sean Marks will have plenty of possibilities to sort through as this season wears on.
