The Importance of Nets Making Decisions About Players Now for Their Future Success

While teams like the Cavaliers, Thunder, and defending champion Celtics hope to be playing into June, the Nets are closing in on the end of their season. They have just 10 dates left on the slate after Monday’s tilt with the Mavericks.

But general manager Sean Marks and head coach Jordi Fernandez are still collecting data and collating plans. They’re still figuring out who to keep for next season and how much to spend to do it.

Trading away Mikal Bridges and taking on a rebuild has forced Fernandez to juggle lineups and rotations, and he’s still doing it down the stretch run of the season. But there is sure to be a massive overhaul over the summer, with the Nets holding not just the most future draft equity in the entire league, but an NBA-high five picks in June, including four in the first round.

Make no mistake, this roster will be culled and remade.
