Chris Mannix has had some positive things to say about the Nets off-season and now, as part of Sports Illustrated's season preview, he looks at the team's prospects.

After five years of burning through hundreds of millions of dollars of Mikhail Prokhorov's money, and flipping first round draft picks for faded veterans, the Nets are taking a more conventional approach to team building. The Nets biggest off season pick up was ex-Knick Andrea Bargnani and Brooklyn exercised some foresight in drafting Syracuse player Chris McCullough a player who likely won't offer a lot this year but could prove to be a good value in 2016.
