Brian Lewis of the New York Post is reporting that the Brooklyn Nets are “expected to follow [a] shorter rebuild strategy,” after trading away Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks and recouping control of their next two drafts from the Houston Rockets, moves that surely won’t be the last in ensuring the Nets will not win many games next year.
It is, of course, a bit early to be charting out rebuilding strategies given that the Nets have only been on this path for less than a week — with Cam Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith still on the roster, for now — but Lewis indicates that Brooklyn would like to use the monstrous amount of cap space they’ll have next summer.
