3 players the Brooklyn Nets can still target in 2021 NBA free agency to bolster their frontcourt depth

#2 Paul Millsap

If Paul Millsap is willing to play for the minimum in the upcoming season, the Brooklyn Nets could be a realistic landing spot for the veteran forward. Although Blake Griffin and Nicolas Claxton will take up the majority of minutes at center, Millsap could find the same consistent time on the floor he had in Denver at power forward either as Durant's backup or if the Nets superstar moved to small forward.

Millsap remains one of the most sought after free agents left on the market in the NBA with the Golden State Warriors also interested. He averaged nine points, 4.7 rebounds and shot at 47% from the field last season. Although he is not the energetic frontcourt option he once was, he continues to provide efficient minutes and a positive box +/- with a 3.2 win share this year.

At this stage of the offseason, there are few available free agents left if the Brooklyn Nets do want to bolster their frontcourt. But they could look at signing Cleveland Cavaliers free agent Isaiah Hartenstein. According to recent reports, the Nets were one of four teams with representatives present at a workout for Hartenstein in Las Vegas, with the Cavs still interested in re-signing him.

Hartenstein hasn't spent much time in the league (three seasons) and has been plagued by injuries in each campaign. Towards the end of the 2020-21 season, though, he was putting up solid numbers as the Cavs backup center, averaging 8.3 points, six rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game in 18 minutes.

Standing at 7-foot, the former second-round pick can certainly provide a menacing presence in the paint for those looking to drive the lane and could be a valuable pickup on a team-friendly deal.
