Brooklyn Nets

“Looking at things from a league-wide perspective, the Brooklyn Nets‘ moves, on paper, are not very good. Their best acquisition was Jeremy Lin, a player who’s probably best suited as a backup point guard, and even on a bargain contract, that’s not something to be proud of.

However, bearing in mind what this team’s outlook was before the draft and free agency, Sean Marks deserves some modicum of praise and respect for at least giving this franchise some inkling of hope for the next three years.

The Nets are going about their rebuild as well as can be expected under a brand new GM, who is trying to turn a bare cupboard into a pantry full of assets. One late first-rounder like Caris LeVert and a backup point guard like Lin might not be a bountiful harvest, but it’s a step in the right direction as far as planting seeds for the future is concerned.”
