Our latest SB Nation reacts poll..
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Brooklyn Nets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Sean Marks said the Nets biggest selling point is “the guy sitting next to me,” pointing to Jordi Fernandez, our Lucas Kaplan wrote at his exit interview. That and the New York market, are Brooklyn’s biggest sell to free agents and stars. No doubt about it.
We can nitpick at things in hindsight but what good is that? Fans on both sides will debate the success of this season — and the future — beyond the Draft Lottery on May 12 and the NBA Draft on June 25.
While a ton rides on May 12, other things weigh heavily on the franchise future like how the NBA Playoffs shake out and which superstars might be on the move, specifically Giannis Antetokounmpo, reportedly Plan A. Know this: the Brooklyn Nets will not avoid a star of his caliber.
“If you’re going after max level talent, they’ve got to automatically and absolutely change the trajectory of your team,” said Marks.
The Nets will have the sixth-best odds at the No. 1 pick — their first lottery pick since 2009.
