Mason Plumlee was once thought to be a key cornerstone piece for these Brooklyn Nets, looked at as a young, athletic big who can help shape their future, as the NBA continues to shift toward being younger and more athletic. After what amounted to a rather disastrous second half of the 2014-15 season, however, some are starting to wonder whether the Nets should deal Plumlee now before it "gets worse."
Fred Katz of Bleacher Report had a nice piece on Plumlee on Monday morning, in which he looked at the possibility of the Nets locking in Brook Lopez to a long-term deal, which will ultimately mean that Plumlee's time as a central building block will come to an end.
