Sean Marks has been quiet this season. Too quiet? Other than signing four players to 10-day hardship exceptions, he has made no trades, signed no free agents nor waived anyone since the beginning of the season. Last year, the Nets put 28 players in the black-and-white, a record.
Now, though, with the NBA’s COVID crisis receding and the trade deadline only three weeks away from Thursday, will that last? There’s the rumor that Daryl Morey, GM of the Sixers, has his eye on James Harden. And the end of the Nets bench seems like a fertile ground for minor deals, maybe someone gets waived, someone moves up from a two-way to a standard deal.
