The Athletic’s David Aldridge has been ranking teams’ off-seasons for years, first at NBA.com and TNT and now The Athletic. He’s out with his latest and he’s got the Nets at No. 2, behind the Clippers.
Aldridge said he looked at :everything, from how they drafted to what trades they made, to significant free-agent signings and to whether they participated in free agency much at all. I looked at coaching changes, new GMs, new buildings that could generate significantly more revenue going forward, or practice facilities that are now online. I then decided which ones I liked the most.
