Claxton’s offensive growth has gone under the radar this year: he came into this game averaging 4.2 assists to only 1.5 turnovers and is shooting a career high from the line at just shy of 70%. He might be an interesting trade target at the deadline for a contending team

He’s been surprisingly really good this year. Jordi unlocked him as a hub center.

Jordi is one hell of a coach

CT was injured most of last year too. They’ve been intentionally using Claxton this way since preseason.

Oh, that’s for sure.

It’s just that one dude isn’t holding the ball for 20 seconds a possession and people can actually play how Jordi wants.

Clax had a really lackluster last year, but he seems to have taken another step this season

His assists are lowkey being a MPJ merchant, but the fact that he’s somehow turned himself into a not totally dogshit FT shooter this late into his career is incredible

Honestly, might be outplaying his contract a bit, especially since it’s descending. Not sure at all what his trade value would be. He’s kinda young enough that the Nets might want to keep him a bit longer, and there seems to be a dearth of readily available consistent centers.

He was mega checked out last year as his PGs and playmakers got worse and worse.

You absolutely do not trade Claxton, and I don’t know if you trade MPJ. 6’10 Snipers do not grow on trees, and having a competent big is hard to come by in the league, and a Contender’s late FRP won’t replace their production.

claxton and mpj timeline doesn’t match with the rest of your young guys

You can’t have a team full of 19 year olds. Claxton is 26, and MPJ is 27 they are young enough to be apart of the next competitive team & with The Nets not controlling their 2027 FRP they will look to be more competitive next season

Five players from the 2025 draft isn’t enough, they need to collect half the first round

He was also dealing with a back injury the entire year. He clearly was not moving the same the whole year

I think the assists are also a product of really good screens. He was the best player on the floor when Cs played BKN in that Cup game and his screening was just awesome. Have no problem with him getting assists on handoffs if he sets screens like that.

Jordi and MPJ have both done wonders for Claxton game. The ideal coach and the perfect teammate

Claxton’s been quietly putting together a solid season and nobody’s really talking about it. The passing numbers especially are surprising for a guy who was basically just a lob threat a couple years ago. If a contender can get him for a reasonable price he’d be a legit upgrade at center a playoff run.

Believe that Nic Claxton and Scottie Barnes are the only Players so far this Season with 100+ Assists and 30+ Blocks.

Jordi’ system and MPJ were the best things to happened to Clax

vs The Bulls he was 1 Assist and 2 Rebounds shy of another TD

Would love to have him on the Raps tbh. Idk if we have anything the Nets would want mainly because idk if they’re going to blow it up

I would really love to see if being traded to a team that isn’t garbage could help fix his attitude issues. By far the biggest thing holding him back individually.

Wanted Atlanta to draft him really bad when they had the chance, but he’s wasted his whole career so far on a mostly terrible Nets roster.

Crazy how inflated stats are nowadays.

Nic “Nicola” Claxton in a win over the Pelicans: 14/10/10 on 5-9 FG, 0-0 3PT, 4-6 FT with 3 blocks
