The Nets now have an open roster spot to fill ... or not. Essentially, the Nets have several options:
- Sign another big to fill the same spot they hoped Noel could fill;
- Sign a free agent point guard as insurance in case Ben Simmons remains out;
- Leave the spot open;
- Convert one of their two two-ways, David Duke Jr.
