The Brooklyn Nets completed a massive overhaul of the franchise's roster, trading their best player Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks, sources told ESPN, and landing a deal with the Houston Rockets to return the franchise's first-round picks lost in the James Harden trade.
After teetering in the post-Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving windows between pursuing the playoffs and the draft lottery, the Nets declared a direction and suddenly have 16 first-round picks available to them through 2031 -- including four picks in the starry 2025 NBA draft.
