Nets Don't Want To Take Back Long-Term Salary In Trades
The Brooklyn Nets have been one of the surprises of the NBA season so far. The Nets are off to a 9-10 starter. But Brooklyn hasn't lost sight of their goals as a rebuilding team, despite the better-than-expected start. "Just about everyone on their roster is available as long as they don't take back long-term money," one source told ESPN of Brooklyn. "They're not giving anyone away. At least not yet." The Nets are expected to entertain offers for veterans like Dennis Schroder, Dorian Finney-Smith and Bojan Bogdanovic. Brooklyn has also let it be known that younger players like Cam Thomas, Cameron Johnson and Nic Claxton could be available if the right offer came along. With Ben Simmons' contract coming off their books, the Nets could create up to $70 million in cap space this coming offseason. That's why Sean Marks doesn't want to take on any long-term salary in deals. That cap space, combined with a high draft pick, would set Brooklyn up for the future quite nicely.
