Seven players from Brooklyn’s 2018-2019 fifteen-man roster entered July’s free agency. And of those seven, only one player was brought back: Theo Pinson. The remaining six spots were filled by a pair All-NBA second-teamers, some scrappy vets, and a couple of high-upside project players.
The Nets are facing a mountain of expectations next season. By circumstance, this also means a multitude of unanswered questions.
I hate to start this piece on a solemn note, but Brooklyn’s success comes down to the strength of their star player’s right leg; that ceiling will be pushed up or down by the miracles of modern medicine.
