The Nets roster is decimated by injury and illness. On a good day, they have 14 healthy players, the smallest number in the “bubble” and five of them were signed in the last six weeks.
For each of them, the remaining four seeding games and (hopefully) the playoffs will be a testing time ... and an opportunity to advance their careers, make some money, get some job security.
For the Nets, of course, the big free agency come October will be that of Joe Harris, who is an unrestricted free agent. But because the Nets have his full Bird Rights, the Nets can go over the salary cap to sign him.
