Nets Surpass Expectations but Stay Focused on Rebuilding
The Brooklyn Nets have emerged as one of the NBA’s pleasant surprises this season, starting 9-10 and outperforming many expectations. Despite this encouraging start, the team remains committed to its long-term rebuilding strategy.
According to an ESPN report, the Nets are open to trade discussions for most players on their roster, provided they don’t have to take on long-term contracts. “They’re not giving anyone away. At least not yet,” a source revealed.
Veteran players like Dennis Schroder, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Bojan Bogdanovic are reportedly available, and even younger standouts such as Cam Thomas, Cameron Johnson, and Nic Claxton could be moved for the right offer.
With Ben Simmons’ contract set to expire, Brooklyn is poised to clear up to $70 million in cap space heading into the offseason. This flexibility, coupled with a likely high draft pick, positions the Nets to make significant strides in their rebuild.
General Manager Sean Marks is reportedly determined to avoid long-term salary commitments in any trade, ensuring the team has both the financial freedom and young talent to build a strong foundation for the future.
