Sean Marks and Brooklyn Nets mostly sit out NBA Free Agency Why that’s a great thing for this team.

coming up the NBA free agency frenzy is well underway but the Brooklyn Nets are just taking it easy letting it all unfold before them we break down why that’s perfect for the Nets all coming up [Music] next you are locked on Nets your daily Brooklyn Nets podcast part of the locked on podcast Network your team every day ah yes my friends it is the lockon Nets podcast right here in the locked on podcast Network it’s your team the Brooklyn Nets every single day he’s Doug Nory I’m Adam arrick we thank you as always for making us your first list of the day we are 100% free on all those great platforms and let you know this episode is brought to you by FanDuel make every moment more All Summer Long FanDuel is hooking up all customers with a boost or bonus daily that’s right there’s something for everyone every day all summer long visit fanduel.com Lockton to get started today and Doug yeah NBA free agency started and technically yes the Brooklyn Nets brought back Nicholas Claxton but other than that this is unfolding the way we thought it would no pressure for Shawn marks and the Nets now let everybody else deal with the chaos to start yeah you know it’s funny because there is you know enormous pressure still on the Nets it’s just in a very different kind of way now and it’s so different that I think even us fans are trying to are getting ourselves like sort of back into like what if the new ideas around success are going to look like right and so at this point the new idea around success where the Nets are concerned it’s like sort of prudency and um just like cons a cons very very conservative approach to how they’re going to go into this season which is to say you know they make their one signing in Nick Claxton for 100 million over four years that’s kind of the hey you’ve been here for a while and we kind of gotta spend the money so here you go it’s not a knock on him I’m glad he got it’s a massive Payday for him but it it kind of fits two separate things it’s like we gotta hit the salary floor and someone’s got to come back so be the guy we know we we drafted and we’ve developed like you deserve it more than anybody else so we’re gonna give 100 Mil to exactly and you should do that like that’s good that’s a good thing and by the way in compared to the Isaiah hardstein uh contract it looks kind of maybe like a deal yeah8 87 million watch out 87 for over three for for him and now for iHeart and all of a sudden you’re like okay well claxon might be on a deal here so all all things considered where the net stand right now with free agency is wait and see see where everyone else goes see where the landing spots for teams are see where once it’s kind of over which teams feel like they didn’t maybe totally get there and need to make some deals for either cam Johnson for Dorian finny Smith for the guy honestly according to the latest reporting it seems like everybody’s on the table now see what other teams are going to need and just kind of w play out the string From anette’s perspective and Shawn Mark’s perspective this is exactly what needs to be done so while there’s no short-term pressure to go out and sign guys the pressure now becomes making really long-term deals that set the Nets up sort of perfectly for the next couple of seasons and Beyond and there’s still time to do that with like the way the roster is currently constructed yeah and I think you mentioned it there about seeing how it unfolds because we’ve already seen right Paul George was the everyone waiting for him to decide what he was going to do some people looking at the Clippers and wondering what are you thinking you’re going to keep James Harden around on two for 70 and you’re going to let Paul George walk out the door either way when he finally goes to Philadelphia then everybody starts making all these supplemental moves but you’re already seeing certain teams like the Lakers who seem to be struggling to figure out how they’re going to get this roster to the next level you got LeBron James saying he’s willing to take a massive pay cut in the right set of circumstances and yet they can’t get somebody like Klay Thompson in the door who ends up going to Dallas and if you’re Brooklyn it’s like you’re just making a list of all the teams that are trying to do things right now and aren’t succeeding because when they come back around and they weren’t able to get player X Y or Z you go hey like you say we’re open for business anybody look at the entire roster baby anything you want is on the table here and hopefully if you’re Shawn marks in the Nets you get to say and the price point maybe is going to be a little steeper than you wanted it to be team X or Y because you need it we don’t and that’s we talked about also coming into this Nets can go into the regular season having cam Johnson on the roster that’s not going to hurt them they can go all the way to the deadline if they had to with certain players on this roster to make sure they get the best version of supplementing what they already did with the bridges trade yeah and look there’s going to be teams that like I like we said have gotten to this point and just don’t maybe have like sort of functional answers for what they’re trying to accomplish right and so um because you know you know the Nets obviously their their goals are are pretty set here it’s like let’s let’s get into the bottom five and and we’ll see next season there’s lots of other teams that just don’t have those same aspirations usually because they have like a bunch of highend talent already on the team and they just can’t really go the other direction right and so while we talk you know you mentioned Philly you mentioned some of these other teams in the East obviously the Knicks reloaded you know courtesy of the Nets um the you know uh sorry the Celtics are already are where they are uh you know but we’re still waiting for some other teams like there’s other teams out there that haven’t made any moves but might feel the need to get better and that list is not as as short as you think it is I mean Cleveland has not really done anything here like what are there what are they looking at going forward going into next year what are the Kings thinking right like we saw the Pelicans kind of retool a little bit the jonay Murray we already you already mentioned the Lakers like they’re not gonna just they’re gonna need to get better players right like where do the Grizzlies stand around John Mor and Triple J right like do they need more wings I mean there’s there are teams here that have not done anything in free agency at all the heat right the heat are about to lose Caleb Martin like there yeah possibly um there’s just a pretty not like super long but there are enough teams out here that need to still upgrade have probably have looked around the landscape and said like whoa there’s some teams that got better here and we need to go back in forward face with our stars and kind of tell them we’re still trying to get better too and now all of a sudden the list of like available realist IC NBA ready solid contributors available getting shorter and so I think we’re going to see I think we’re going to see this free agency play out and then we’re going to see those other teams that did not have a headline in free agency at all kind of maybe come calling and I think that that’s from anette’s perspective that has to feel good even though it’s kind of quiet on that front right now on the back end of this episode all of the players being available what would that look like for Brooklyn but coming up next when we think about wanting to be as close to the top of the draft in 2025 as possible why certain teams are doing the Nets a favor and committing to being good this year we’ll dive into Detroit Pistons of it all in just one moment all right before we get into that tell you about our friends over at fandel look you love sports I love sports we all love sports we love them so much we never want them to stop the NBA Playoffs is over that season’s done but we got and we got a fewer games kind of just across the board that’s sometimes what happens here in the summer look it’s pre football got MLB though going all summer long and they got got so much stuff happening on FanDuel when it comes to baseball even like right now if you go over to uh FanDuel and you just look at the you got a game four game h four leg same game parlay going with the Reds and the Yankees It’s got Aaron judge to record two plus total bases then he combin it with little Ellie De La Cruz to record two plus total bases some Juan sto thrown in there as well it’s happening over at FanDuel they got boost every single day they got deals happening every single day all summer long look Sports might have taken a little bit of break that’s not what’s happening over on FanDuel fed head on over over to uh fanduel.com lockon make the most out of your summer FanDuel official sports betting partner Major League Baseball all right so as we continue today’s locked on net episode The Other Side of what’s going on right now in free agency teams making moves but if we think about it for the Brooklyn Nets and wanting to be locking themselves in as high as they possibly can inside of that Lottery and going for the number one overall pick or at least a top prospect you have to love watching Detroit who agreed to an extension with Kate Cunningham but also lands Tim Hardaway via trade from the Mavs they also sign Tobias Harris returning back to Detroit after years in Philadelphia they get uh Wendell Moore Jr uh via trade as well from the wolves like they are trying as a team that has struggled they also hired a bicker staff after he got fired from Cleveland they’re trying to make this a competitive basketball team because Detroit keeps trying keeps failing so they’re going for it now that’s great that’s great news for the Nets by the way all these teams everyone try please everyone everyone go ahead and try like that’s that’s great news and they’re they’re doing everything they can now whether or not I think it’s going to work out for them in in the grand scheme of competing neither here nor there the point is they’re making themselves better which it’s it’s not here it’s there it it won’t work but whatever like who cares go ahead go ahead and try yeah more power hopefully it works to the level of more wins than the Brooklyn Nets and pre all of these moves you would look at a team like Detroit and say yeah like this is one of the teams we could be competing with inside of the lottery instead they go ahead and take some steps Washington’s another team like this even though I can’t really totally figure out what they’re up to they sign they sign uh valent chunis but that’s like a deal that seems prepared to be traded at some point over the course of this season on a three or 33 million whatever it is they’re at least somewhere in these muddled middle grounds the Brooklyn Nets right now are the only team that see that are saying we’re not signing anybody we’re waiting for phone calls on everybody and hopefully every other team thinks that they want to be competitive this year like things or at least from afar lining up the way Brooklyn would hope they would over this offseason including even the bad teams trying to get better yeah and look I get it like some of these teams have been in this situation for too long and they simply just can’t keep I mean the Nets are like you know afforded this maybe and I get it like like some season ticket holders and we’ve heard from some of them out there and and I feel for you everyone out there like have have you know shown some frustration here because you know prices don’t prices are what they are and the teams definitely headed in a different direction uh it’s year one of this uh let’s see whatever one’s patience is in year three right these are like it’s these are this is a long game some of these teams simply can’t go back to the fans and be like yeah guess what hope let’s get number one like the Pistons just can’t do it like they gota they gotta go try a little bit here right Cade Tobias is the team gonna be good no could be interesting H maybe right so the some of these teams just simply can’t go back to their fans and do that there’s a few that can the Nets can right now I think the Wizards are probably still in that realm right now but you still got to spend the money and you know maybe try a little bit and I don’t know they’re like yeah we’ll try a little bit and then when we lose it it’s not going to be too hard to lose with this team right even you know a chewy signing uh notwithstanding but then you get you know even like the Spurs it’s like well look wenyama is good now let’s get Chris Paul like let’s go try to do something cool here and and maybe we can make a playoffs maybe just wyam is just too good to tank right like we saw he’s just like too good of a player we got some young interesting guys Pop’s not getting any younger let’s just kind of do something now and see how it goes so I think that the way that this is kind of unfolding for the Nets is that we’re in this realm of we’re in this realm of some of these bad teams have been bad for too long they just have to just go out and just can’t look their fans in the face for another season with this right it’s like we simply get no no no guys guys guys guys next year that’s when we’re going to totally and by the way these are the teams that people bring up when referencing why the Nets shouldn’t have taken this path I I get this it’s like it’s like oh well you want to be the Hornets and the Wizards well of course not of course not like but and it but that’s not how it always works out for these teams like if you’re if you’re managed well you can kind of reset pretty quickly some of these teams have run out the string on their ability to honestly go back in forward face with anyone who actually pays money to go to the games and so they’re gonna all try again with tanking the smooth odds it’s a little easy to kind of get back toward the bottom at the end of the year but where the Nets are concerned if the goal is to finish dead last because that has slightly marginal odds better than you know finishing second to last and third to last they are setting up really well and this free agency period for the most part has worked out like even around the rest of the league as good as you could imagine for for the when outside looking in for Brooklyn and you know just when you mention a team like the Spurs and wanyama it’s also like you know that’s a Transcendent generational type talent that comes into the league it it doesn’t hurt you know is Cooper flag or Ace Bailey going to be a Transcendent level of talent well you know that a certain combination of size and skill set can you know elevate a player like wemy to that kind of status coming into the league but if you spike it at the right time it’s like w be and the Spurs relative to Kade and Detroit kade’s a really great player really good you know just got signed to extension it’s awesome but it’s not of the level where even in Bad seasons the fan base is like yeah but look at this kid right like but like there’s always that hope of what you can build around so I think that that’s an interesting relative Factor as well the other thing that we’re kind of I think seeing here across this too I think in a good way because the CBA obviously in this first and second aprons and how restrictive it can be and you can’t combine contracts and all these different things it forces some teams to make some hard hard choices excuse me which always gets me emotional I hate when guys have hate when teams have to make difficult choices financially but instantly you get Philadelphia who’s still gonna have they sign they signed the extension for Maxi they still have embiid and then they add Paul George and and you know you take a step back and you go all right well I suppose it is restrictive but some teams are still able to spend the big dollars Boston’s going to be in an absolute disaster mode probably in the years to come with the contracts they have on the books but I do think that you’re seeing the CBA work in the way that the NBA was hoping for it guys are still going to get paid they’re just going to start getting spread out a little bit more across the league and even though Philly represents maybe one of the last kind of big three versions newly established big three versions I think that’s what they’re hoping for is let’s make go somewhere else now Philadelphia is not a small Market team nor would you put it on the level maybe of an LA I think the dream here for the NBA would have been that Paul George Goes to Orlando like oh now you start to spread it out to a new team and bring up some of those mid- tier kind of competition levels in the eastern and western conference but I like the way this looks in free agency do you like do you do you appreciate what the CBA is restrictively forced some teams to do and maybe what it’s going to lead to in allowing other hopefully Raw to come up and maybe shrink right trying to shrink the margins between the one seeds and the 12 seeds just so that it makes a little bit more competitive basketball consistently okay so I have two minds about this on the one hand from a Net’s perspective I like it right now because it’s going to help them it’s going to help them right I think get better quicker because the teams are gonna put themselves into disaster mode quicker like the Knicks could be looking really staring down the barrel at some of these same problems a couple years from now right the timeline of where the Nets are going to start getting some of their picks right we already know the Milwaukee thing is already starting to hamstring them it’s not going to be soon enough with where the Nets pick stands there but like some of these other teams and then some of these other teams are going to be in such Dire Straits possibly that a team that has Flex like cap flexibility and asset flexibility could be in the mode of sort of what Shawn Marx did before taking on other teams disasters and now but then but then Nets didn’t have any other assets now they’re going to have assets and the ability to do it so I think like as teams navigate this second apron specifically and try to figure out how to get them essentially out of themselves out of jail once they’ve gotten themselves into it I think a team like the Nets will be set up really well to be like it’s funny because I think what we’re seeing now is teams are just coming to grips like with some of what this means and I think they still don’t totally get it and so the Nets are going to be in a position like two years years from now where it’s like oh now you really get it now we’re here so I think like over the next two years we’re going to see the Nets probably help out some of these other teams who finally get online and be like what did what happen to us here like what can’t we do and and and I think like the Nets are gonna be position I do think from like an NBA perspective it does seem really punitive I like I don’t I I I’m not of the mind right away to be like oh this is great I don’t I think it seems it’s a little too hard Cappy it’s a li I get a little bit worried about like sort of like the middle tier of players in the NBA and sort of like their ability to get paid when it when it comes to some of this stuff I’m not so I’m holding out a little bit of the top of the top yeah yeah top of the top gets paid and then the the the middle the middle tier of players gets wider and the contracts gets smaller it feels like because it’s like at some point you just like you know overpaying for those guys is really where you’re G to get really crushed and so I’m I’m not positive that like from an NBA perspective it’s amazing but I get like why they were at least trying to do it because when you look at some of these teams and you’re like hey like the Warriors the like some of these teams are just spend all the money and you’re trying to make it so the OKC’s the Orlando can kind of stay relevant because no one’s ever gonna sign a free agent contract there of like the very top players I get it but I I’m I’m not totally been like this is the best thing ever it does feel a little Draconian to me but I but I I’m I’m going to reserve the right to kind of maybe change that opinion at some point yeah yeah I wouldn’t say this is you know home run swing across the board for the NBA and I think maybe the hardest part about it is you say teams comeing to the reality of it is now again it was a CBA it was negotiated everyone understood the plan that was being put in place but I’m not sure they did by the way like I’m not 100% sure they totally understood it I think they understood it like I’m not saying they’re like dumb or anything they’re clearly these guys are all really really smart it’s not that it’s like sometimes I think it’s a little hard in the moment to understand what the down chain effects of something that seems really good on paper most ideas that end up being bad started on someone’s desk as a good idea and then when we got down when the when the memo got passed all the way down yeah like it then it just turned into a bad idea so like I I don’t know sorry sorry to interrupt you but I’m not I think sometimes it’s hard to see exactly what all the effects are going to be no and I think and it’s maybe making it’s kind of making the point of understanding on paper what it meant but the reality of but we’ve been operating a certain way for the past three four five six seven eight years oh this actually requires like big immediate decisions to adjust to this and that can then have as you mentioned the down chain effects and how it ends up impacting your roster so I don’t know in the long run I think it’s good for the league but maybe maybe that is to your point going the other way uh time to reserve judgment we’ll see how it pans out no ultimately if it puts Brooklyn in a good spot to be a competitive team you know in two years from now then I think it’s a great idea and the CBA Works flawlessly coming up here in a second when we talk about everybody being available on the roster who would that include and does it change the perspective of what this rebuild looks like specifically when we talk about young players in this core for Brooklyn we’ll get into that to close out today in just one moment all right so as we wrap up today’s locked on Net’s episode talking about the NBA free agent big teams making big moves the Brooklyn Nets just lying in the weeds and relaxing there was stuff we mentioned the other day Brian Lewis has been doing a great job for the New York Post covering everything including pouring some cold water not only on the idea that Brooklyn is either shopping or taking phone calls on Ben Simmons we always find that comical when we talk about him in his contract but also the D’Angelo Russell angle of it about whether or not the Nets are open to that reunion it’s an expiring deal that’s the Lakers and what might happen here but I I I do find it interesting some of those bubble ups that are happening right now around Brooklyn because we’ve assumed that it’s this young core we already had the conversation on Claxton yeah it’s four years but does he fit either timeline depending on what the Nets do maybe not I do wonder about what happens not this off season but maybe going forward the like cam Thomas still is going to be a central figure in the Brooklyn Nets future but I don’t know if their new Direction cements him being a part of that future like I find that actually pretty fascinating and maybe something like that we just assume his age and timeline fits everything and he’s a score and that’s great but the rebuild can be so long that maybe it doesn’t end up being as big a factor as we think it is in this moment does that make sense it does I think he like gets an extension almost for sure at this point it’s my guess because it won’t matter got gota fill the books that’s not a knock on him by the way it’s like hey again we’re in the we gotta pay we gotta pay guys he we drafted him he’s been part of it he’s grown massively there’s a group of fans that absolutely love him rightfully so so I think we see an extension from him because it’s like even if the extension was bad which I’m not even saying it’s gonna be but even if it was bad it won’t be bad like even if it’s like one of those you know quote Omar it’s like from this even from uh from this caliber in this range even if I miss I can’t miss like it’s like he’s like it’s not gonna it’s just not really gonna it’s not really going to matter and it could be great and even it’s not it’s like well whatever like that’s just not what we’re going to do he can go fill it up he can score a lot of points we can sell some jerseys like it’s going to be all good um and then if he progresses into like a lead ball handler kind of guy then even better so it’s like we’re we’re kind of in a win-win situation I think from like the rest of the roster point of view it’s just uh you know you you did a good job of mentioning sort of like throwing cold water on the ideas of like who could definitely be traded or what not but I think they I mean the idea that they’re open for business and all these guys is definitely true it’s I think the reality of whether it can happen is mixed but with Cam I think I think cam is for almost for sure a net here at least for like the next four years wouldn’t you say like if you had the if you just had a BET right now would you say that like that’s more likely or less likely to happen more yeah more likely for sure because there’s no there’s no downside to him being here and even if the best quote unquote best version of Cam Thomas is a guy that’s a bucket and the other areas don’t fully fill out or develop the way you hope that’s still valuable it’s still valuable for you in the short term and then it’s valuable on another team in the long term so like those discussions can happen over the next couple of years and that’s kind of the point of what’s going to shift here for Brooklyn free agency will play out you’ll get some more assets you’ll go to these next draft classes you’ll bring in young Talent you’ll see how the pieces fit you’ll take flyers on guys right like you’re going to continue to evolve the roster so I think just the idea that oh will Brooklyn get through this year be bad get get one of the top three picks okay get flag get a you know get Ace Bailey put him in the roster great now it’s him and Clowny and Tom like okay yes for now but then another year later or those other three 2025 picks that you have those things are all going to factor in you’re G to try to piece together a roster and I think for me to close out today’s episode I look at a team like OKC and I say this is a team that obviously right had all these picks in there brought in all the young talent and then this off season they go out they sign hartenstein maybe it’s to maybe makes the Clon deal look that much better but they also they go and get Caruso a veteran experienced guard you go and add in these little pieces to what you’re doing here and by the way go look at their go look at their coffers still filled with draft picks and capital and ability to be flexible so like they’re that three years ahead maybe even four years ahead of of of Brooklyn but you can watch their model I think and track that for Brooklyn as this is the process we’re hoping to do young player Young player Young player have the hits find the core make some smart decisions and suddenly you’re right there near the top of a conference being competitive you know three relatively quickly after two bad years they were at least competitive and then then that fourth year they obviously spiked and got to a number one seat and dude I’ll tell you like also like along those lines to some degree but just to kind of maybe fold it back to the beginning of the episode to seeing all these other Moves In free agency now again some of these were put in place because of the Nets like specifically the Knicks but just about everything else was Nets independent and seeing all these other teams like get better right like see the Thunder get better see the Sixers get better see Boston just lock it in for the next few years um you know and we’ll see how see Dall so Dallas kind of pivots but they’re gonna be good like you know the Nuggets lose kcp but they’re still gonna be really good seeing some of these other teams you have to just feel so much better as a Nets fans like what were they gonna do what were they gonna do how are they ever going to compete with these other teams that were just having no problem like how they were having no problem getting better and or staying basically the same and so then you were gonna point if we had gotten out of this SE like let’s say we had gotten out of this summer and it was like we signed Claxton and he would still be playing this unbelievably bad waiting game and I’ll tell you right now it would look even worse because the Knicks would still be good too like they would have just kept hardenstein let’s say and we knew that Thunder would have gotten cuso like it wouldn’t have changed it that much and we would just be looking at the situation like what are they going to do you’d be honestly because and by the way Donovan Mitchell just signed his extension so he’s locked in there um but that that came out while we were while remember that remember that time when we thought we were getting him well and maybe you know maybe you say okay well it doesn’t happen because like whatever and like Cleveland so maybe there’s other things they we’d be sitting right now I’ll tell you right now we spend the whole season we’d be like hopefully Yannis wants out that would be the whole season of talking that would be it because it’ be like you’d be saring at the one team Milwaukee where you like really Envision something going horribly off the tracks and we would just spend all season either Mitchell didn’t sign the extension so we spent a whole season hoping for Mitchell to not be still a championship level team or spent a whole season hoping for the demise of yanis and hoping the Nets were like the one team that could go in and trade for him that’d be the whole season that’d be so anyway just seeing how this is unfolded with the Nets knowing they don’t need to like get into that mck andm and hope and wish they got another thing to Hope and wish for getting the top three top one pick whatever that’s another sweat that will spend the whole season it feels a little more controllable than the other thing right a little and like that’s all you want to kind of Wonder is like what is a little more controllable and what sets you up a little better for the long term it sure seems like this is the thing that that does it and when you look at the rest of the NBA it was just going to be so hard to see how the Nets were ever going to be competitive with with their with their previous what apparent timeline yeah best version of this offseason was still going to put the Brooklyn Nets probably on the edge of the of the play in tournament on the back end of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference scraping to be maybe a 500 team potentially good reminder there as well last note before we kick off here uh keep an eye on Chicago D rozan what happens with him Chicago actually becomes probably the new team that is likely to be in and around the bottom of the NBA pick landscape so that may be the new number one competitor for the Brooklyn Nets when it comes to getting the number one overall pick but D rozan where is he going to go what do teams need to do to make that kind of move so try to look at the veteran players that are on the bad teams now that’s going to be the breadcrumb trail for Where Brooklyn either maybe gets in the margins maybe eats a bad contract and starts to get into the fry of the NBA free agency all right see you at the bottom Bulls well do out rock paper scissors at the end of the season we’re gonna get out of here make sure you subcribe what’s harder to beat a bull or a a net who who wins I love when we actually just think about like the mascot of the Nets it’s like their mascot is a piece is a piece of equipment on and like not even between that or backboards they were going to be the backwards but they went with they with Nets the Brooklyn rims you know um okay we’re GNA get out of here just such a great it’s so great you never think about you never stop and think about it too much and when you do it’s like so ridiculous uh I think the Bulls beat the net maybe maybe a net can catch a bull I don’t maybe maybe a neck maybe a you toss it over a bowl and you catch it so there you go we win that and more hard-hitting analysis is when you subscribe to Everyday to lock on Nets uh make sure you hit the Subscribe button make sure you subscribe over on spot Apple podcast wherever you listen make sure you leave a review too five stars are nothing don’t it don’t don’t leave a review if it’s less than five stars don’t bother but if it’s going to be a five star review which it should be make sure you do that wherever you listen to the net lock down Nets losing is only temporary and not all-encompassing you must simply study it learn from it and try not to lose the same way again then you must have the self-control to forget about it that is Johnny wooden oh one of the alltime great posts we back again tomorrow talking more Brook that’s basketball basketball basketball basketball basketball basketball basketball basketball yeah

Free agency has (mostly) come and gone in the NBA, and the Nets have made one signing (so far) with Nic Claxton’s 4-year, $100 million contract. This has been exactly the right path for Sean Marks and company. While Brooklyn sees many other teams, especially in the Eastern Conference, load up and improve, they will be able to do business with what’s left.

The Locked on Nets guys discuss what this means for the potential trade market around Cam Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith and also examine the NBA landscape in general.
