Three players Nets could land in NBA free agency or offseason trade

After the Nets dealt Nic Claxton, Day’Ron Sharpe is the nominal center. But he’s started only 21 career games — seven last season — and isn’t a shot blocker. Robinson — who The Post’s Stefan Bondy reported is unlikely to re-sign with the Knicks — is a rim protector who would give the Nets their best rebounding one-two punch ever. He’s projected to earn $13 million to $15 million annually; do the Nets go higher to get him?

The Nets are sorely lacking a point-of-attack defender, and there’s no guarantee Drake Powell ever grows into that role. OKC has an embarrassment of riches in Cason Wallace and Lu Dort, but the more under-the-radar Ellis — who played in Sacramento when Nets coach Jordi Fernández was a Kings assistant — could provide at least a reasonable facsimile of that off the bench at a cheaper price point.

The Nets have $40 million in cap space and could use that in trades. Wallace and Jaylen Brown might be unlikely, but Murphy — who league personnel believe is willing to leave New Orleans — could be high on the wish list. The sweet-shooting wing would cost multiple first-round picks, but The Athletic’s Sam Amick reported the Nets and Clippers may be the favorites among a long list of possible suitors.
