It appears the Brooklyn Nets are headed for another developmental season in the upcoming campaign. They finished with a 26-56 record, placing 12th in the Eastern Conference last season. With a fresh group of rookies joining a few seasoned veterans, the organization’s top priority should be nurturing its young talent. Building a contender in the NBA takes time. There are no quick fixes. This is a lesson Brooklyn should now understand all too well (see: the Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden experiment).
Given these circumstances, it’s reasonable to expect the Nets to be a lottery team once again this season.
