Free Agency or Draft: How Should Brooklyn Nets Fill Biggest Offseason Needs?
Brooklyn Nets fans continue to panic about their team's future with talk of "not having their own first-round pick" surrounding all offseason discussions. But that doesn't mean the Nets are missing a first-rounder altogether.
The Nets actually do have one of those this year, and they have moves to make in free agency. They'll have to succeed in both areas, though, to improve on a 38-44 season that ended after a first-round playoff exit at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaking of the Hawks, the Nets own their first-round selection after Atlanta activated a pick swap resulting from 2012's Joe Johnson trade. Brooklyn will select 29th.
