The Brooklyn Nets were able to bottom out during the 24-25 season with a chance at a high lottery pick after they reacquired their 2025 first rounder in a trade last June with the Houston Rockets. The Nets have the most salary cap space this offseason and are not expected to embark on an extended rebuild.Â
The Nets only have Cameron Johnson and Nicolas Clayton on long-term contracts.
“The buzz from rival teams has been the Nets aren’t planning for a true long-haul tank, even after reacquiring their own picks last summer,” writes ESPN’s Jeremy Woo.Â
Brooklyn still owes a 2027 first round swap to the Rockets as part of the James Harden trade. Sean Marks has run the Brooklyn front office since February 2016.
