With the end of the 2016-17 season coming to a close for the Brooklyn Nets, it’s now time to look back on the season that was, and look toward the future plans for the franchise.

The Brooklyn Nets 2016-17 season has ended. After suffering a 112-72 loss to the Chicago Bulls on April 12, the Nets now begin a crucial offseason.

With the NBA Draft Lottery approaching on May 16, the Nets’ 25.0 percent chance of landing the No. 1 overall pick will be sent to the Boston Celtics, who have the right to swap picks with Brooklyn.

But, despite the asset depletion, Sean Marks has rebounded quite well now entering a pivotal offseason for the franchise. Whether it’s the lack of depth at point guard, or the need to get more athletic defensively around the rim, the front office has their work cut out for them.

Before we begin the offseason journey, now is a time to reflect, as I host a roundtable with some of the team’s most insightful writers; taking a look at the season that was and what plans general manager Sean Marks and head coach Kenny Atkinson have in store for the future.
