The Brooklyn Nets, off to a 9-10 start, are focused on maintaining flexibility as a rebuilding team. Sources indicate that while most players are available for trade, the Nets are unwilling to take on long-term salary commitments.
Veterans like Dennis Schroder, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Bojan Bogdanovic are expected to attract interest, while younger talents like Cam Thomas and Nic Claxton could also be moved for the right deal.
With Ben Simmons’ contract expiring, Brooklyn could create up to $70 million in cap space for the next offseason, positioning themselves strongly for future growth.
