Sean Marks may have given the most important comments of the day at Brooklyn Nets exit interviews on Monday, but one consistent theme emerged among the players: They want to be back.
Brooklyn only has six players under fully guaranteed contracts for the 2025-26 season; the other nine are either free agents or have some sort of club option. In any case, given Brooklyn’s successful hoarding of cap space for this summer, their fates are controlled by the Nets. If Sean Marks wants D’Angelo Russell and Trendon Watford back — even though those two are unrestricted — he has the space to do it.
