The Brooklyn Nets are in the midst of an key offseason for them as they look to make it back to the playoffs next season after missing the postseason completely this season. At the moment, Brooklyn does not have any draft picks for the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft and does not have much cap space to work with outside of a trade of some of their more expensive players.
One of the main storylines surrounding the Nets over the past year has been whether they will trade for a star to help them get closer to the playoffs or pull the plug on the whole thing and enter a full rebuild. Based off reporting from plenty of people in NBA circles, it seems that Brooklyn would prefer to be in a “competitive rebuild” so that they can be ready to attract a star, either in free-agency or through a trade of some sort.
However, if the Nets are not going to engage with the Houston Rockets to get their own draft picks back and are not going to make a rash decision in terms of trading for a star, what can they do in the meantime? According to Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report, it’s possible that Brooklyn could be able to get something done with the Oklahoma City Thunder in a mock trade that would benefit both teams.
