We’re in the beginning stages of the Brooklyn Nets' offseason preparations, and there are plenty of plots and subplots to follow during July’s free agent push. Here are three things to know about their free agency plans:
1) Brook Lopez expected to re-sign with team
Lopez chose to opt out of his contract to test the free agency market, and while he will listen to offers from several suitors, the Nets are still his No. 1 destination, according to Michael Scotto of Sheridan Hoops.
Mason Plumlee had started to take away some minutes from Lopez during the second half of last season, but Brooklyn traded him to the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this week, giving Lopez a more prominent role.
