The Brooklyn Nets have been in the rumor mill for several months, and the majority of the speculation has revolved around starting center Brook Lopez, while some has focused on forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Well, there is a good chance that Lopez and Hollis-Jefferson will stick with the Nets past Thursday's deadline, but one of their teammates might be moved.

Rumor Central

According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, the Nets may look to deal Bojan Bogdanovic. Lewis has confirmed that the Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards are "viable suitors" among several teams interested in the Croatian swingman.

The Wizards are likely willing to surrender their 2017 first-round selection to upgrade the roster, and after missing out on Louis Williams, Bogdanovic might become their top target.

Bogdanovic, in his third season in the NBA, will become a restricted free agent on July 1. Bogdanovic has made 55 appearances this season and started 54 games. He is averaging 14.2 points (35.7 percent from behind the 3-point line), 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
