Nets general manager Billy King met the media Tuesday ahead of Wednesday’s regular-season opener against the Bulls in Brooklyn and tried to sell his team’s positives. He didn’t have a lot to offer.

After years of spending big bucks and chasing championship dreams, the new reality facing the Nets will be on display Wednesday night.

The goal is to make the playoffs, though the chances are remote. The hope is to have the team’s young players develop, but only one — Thomas Robinson — is a lottery pick, and he is playing for his sixth team in three-plus seasons.
