In a number of ways, the Nets trade of Tyler Zeller for Rashad Vaughn and a second rounder, likely to be conveyed in 2020, was typical Sean Marks. The Nets got another pick, the eighth one in two years, and what used to be called a “fallen angel,” a player with potential who for whatever reason didn’t make it with the team that drafted him.
And while there’s been a lot of discussion of how the Nets could “cash out” on their development projects, players like Joe Harris and Spencer Dinwiddie, Zeller represents another angle in that calculation.
