Suns are going to blow it up and got assets further out. Also, Rox gonna have to make a jump soon.
It looks like the main asset Brooklyn got in the trade with the Rockets was control of their own 2025 pick back. The Nets are gonna tank hard this year.

It’s highway robbery for the Nets, I get that. What I don’t get is the logic for Houston. Id assume the Nets picks are better than the Suns picks no? And is it really about KD!?
I’m sure I’m missing something.
There are too many moving parts in that trade for me to keep track of. The Rockets had an unprotected swap with the Nets in 2025 and that is one of an asset to give up. I'm sure the Nets made the two deals (Knicks and Rockets) contingent on both happening. There would be no reason to trade Bridges if they didn't get control of their own 2025 pick, and no reason to get control of their 2025 pick if they didn't plan on tearing it down (including trading Bridges).
Still have a lot of draft picks. But it seems like they are going to make a major trade. Just hope not for KD.
Nets got out of the mess they were in for the next couple of years which is impressive.
Marks probably told Stone that he refused to tank without his own picks back; Stone probably calculated the risk of Brooklyn signing another semi-star or using significant cap room to sign vets in the next year or two to pair with Bridges (and getting a pick in the early teens) was greater than the dumpster fire that is Phoenix in 2027 and beyond and made a business decision
Maybe they’re gonna overwhelm CLE with a package for Mitc ?
So I get the thought process if the aim is to land KD (Suns will be more inclined to part with him if they get their picks back)…but let’s assume the Rockets want to land some other win-now stars. Couldn’t they have done that by dealing the Nets picks? Feels like the Nets 2025 and 2026 picks might be some of the most valuable assets in the league, no? Guess I’m not still not entirely sure what advantage it gives them.
That had no chance anyway. Ainge was probably already asking 6 FRPs.
There are a few players on the Nets roster we should look at.
If I’m understanding this right, yes. And Marks should win GM of the year immediately.
Exactly.
I’m sure we’ll learn more soon tho.
Yeah. Phoenix being a dumpster fire is imminent.
I agree. The Spurs seem to want to pivot to winning now, and the Spurs have cap room and extra picks. The Nets aren't quite as natural of trading partners with the Spurs as the Hawks are, but it's still a good match.
This is where Wright needs to make his hay.
you’re right. Unless there is a deal lined up in which the other team values the Suns picks more
The rest of the Nets roster is trash. Can Johnson is 29 already and not particularly good either
I wonder if it’s for Booker
Cam Johnson, for sure.
That would be something. Houston could send a very nice package for players and picks for Book. Smith, Eason, Green, picks…
He’s a forward that shoots the 3 ball at a high level, and has been to the Finals.
Hard to keep track, but I think BKN keeps some of the Phoenix picks they got for Durant, plus this wad from the Knicks. Those won't be exceptional, but they're not nothing. The total haul they got for Durant is pretty great all told.
HOU says they want a star right now. That's... Durant? Paul George? I hope they get one of the old guys and try to contend too soon.
So basically Nets Durant got traded for Cam Johnson and 9 first rounders, 2 second rounders, and a pick swap - so far.
EDIT: Considering Durant signed in Brooklyn as a sign and trade, it's basically like Marks got all the draft capital out of thin air for - D'Angelo Russell.
Cook.
Bridges to Knicks. Wonder if they let Anonoby walk.
