The Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers are weary travelers amid the journey that is the 2024-25 NBA season. Each is 30+ games deep into their campaign by now. They’ve touched down out West and gone above the border. They’ve traded more players, stirred more drama (really just Philly here), and suffered more injuries than most teams do in a full year.
The Nets, however, are a rebuilding squad. They’re riding coach on this voyage — and they like it that way. While it’s hard to imagine they’re enjoying this 13-win ride, it’s helping them finance a lengthy one as a first class NBA team in the not-too-distant future.
