One of the many intriguing aspects of last February’s trade between Philadelphia and Brooklyn was the inclusion of the Sixers’ 2022 first-round pick, with the Nets given the option to instead take Philadelphia’s 2023 first-rounder by an agreed-upon June 1 deadline. Reported speculation had been that the Nets would defer to 2023, and after waiting right up until that June 1 deadline, Brooklyn has, in fact, officially opted to defer and assume the rights to Philadelphia’s 2023 first-round pick.<\/p>\n
\nESPN Sources: The Brooklyn Nets are deferring acquisition of the Philadelphia 76ers 2022 first-round pick at No. 23 to the 2023 NBA Draft. The option on pushing back pick comes out of the James Harden-Ben Simmons trade. Nets had to inform the league office of decision today.<\/p>\n
