@NetsDaily Most importantly Prokhorov would not settle for the level of mediocrity that Tsai has allowed on his watch. Actually very few owners would keep employing Marks under these circumstances.

He got Barclays Center built at a cost of $1B. Before he arrived, it was barely hanging on. Got HSS Training Center built at a cost of $50M. Paid out $215M to renovate Coliseum for G League franchise, etc. Spent hundreds of millions on luxury taxes. All building blocks.

@NetsDaily Forgot to mention the former Nets owner, the Russian he was the worst took the money and disappeared
English
@NetsDaily He is the worst owner in my lifetime outside of Ratner. At least we knew Ratner was eventually going to sell. Wonder how much worse it is going to get with his net worth cut in half now.
English
No evidence of that.

Nets and Liberty fans hate Joe Tsai lmao

There's no argument that this is not a disappointing offseason. You can be happy about: MBJ, Randle trade, Sharpe/Minott resign, but this was underwhelming. Outside of MBJ/Egor there are no keepers (and they still have lots to prove). Lot of stopgaps and bad young guys.

The Nets held off on this signing to see if they could spend $14 million in cap space first. By officially signing Moe Wagner, they’re down to $4.5 million in cap space and have the $9.4 million room mid-level exception as well. They can take both into the season.
English
@KeithSmithNBA What an underwhelming off season. We were told for the last 2 years that all of the flexibility would turn into something good. Instead we are still a bottom 3 team with only 2 solid young pieces.
English
The Brooklyn Nets have officially signed Moe Wagner.
This signing will come out of cap space, and will bring the Nets down to roughly $4.5M remaining in cap space.
Brooklyn also has the full $9.4M Room Exception available.
English
@JfromBk Not even for a second. Even Clara was holding out for something better and when we waived the white flag and completed this signing that was her last straw.
English
That’s it? Wasn’t it supposed to be a bigger move attached, which is why this signing took so long? Just like the Julius trade was supposed to be a bigger move, which is why that took so long? Anybody surprised?
Brooklyn Nets@BrooklynNets
Welcome to Brooklyn, Moe!
English
@AdamOrecchio Sean Marks would have to he awake and willing to spend money for something to happen. Neither of those conditions appear to be true
English
Peyton Watson and MPJ have been attached at the hip for two months. You can’t tell me something isn’t going on here.
NetsDaily@NetsDaily
That’s Knick fan take. Net fan take was who he was with.!😊
English
@ReedWallach Sarcasm isnt my strong suit, i guess. Our 1st round pick from last year showing signs that one day he could possibly be the second worst guy on the team if he tries hard, is not really a compliment.
English
@TheRealJGeller Even if Saraf showed flashes of being a capable 11th man, you could find that for far cheaper and less of a commitment than a first round contract which is why the pick is so bad when you add it to all the other picks they made. Also, he’s really bad.
English
Nets had five first rounders in 2025 and their second best player wasn’t drafted
Reed Wallach@ReedWallach
Chaney Johnson is the Nets backup center
English
@ReedWallach Agreed. Saraf shows flashes of being a capable 11th man, but Powell has clearly regressed and doesn't look like an NBA player at this point. Wolf and Egor look good though.
English
@ReedWallach To be fair, 2 of them arent playing and the other 2 are Powell and Saraf.
English
@ScoopB Scoop, rate Sean Marks off season assuming he follows his regular pattern and is mostly done except some small housekeeping moves? This is not the off season nets fans were sold for the last 3 years.
English
@BobSacamano_5 Too bad Sean Marks is uninterested in getting better. Flexibility!!!!
English
Hypothetically if Nets:
1. Signed Duren to Kessler deal (4-130)
2. Traded 2-3 picks and MPJ for Murphy
3. Resigned Sharpe, Ziare, Minott
Roster:
PG: Brown/Traore/Saraf
SG: Demin/Mann/Powell
SF: Murphy/Minott
PF: Randle/Wolf/Jefferson
C: Duren/Sharpe
I'd be pretty amped
English
The Nets future hinges on the Nets drafted players becoming top level players, waiting for a star to become available for trade and hope to snag a star in 2028 free agency. That’s the reason why they don’t want to commit to any player past 2 years on their contracts. That’s plan. A lot of what if’s.. Hope it works out.

Sleepy Sean back in hibernation
See you next 48 hour window before draft day!

Seems like the Nets Trey Murphy buzz has completely died
English
@SteveLichtenst1 Cc @joetsai1999 we are still a bottom 4 team in the league.
English
ICYMI: Marks' moves have yet to appreciably move the #Nets' needle forward. He does, however, have the cap space & Draft capital to not fall so much further behind all the improving competitors in the East. To quote Judge Smails: We're waiting! Link:
open.substack.com/pub/stevelicht…
English
@SteveLichtenst1 Great piece. Barely any beat writers hold Marks accountable f9r off seasons like these. I hope I am wrong, but based on his history Marks is done at this point and will make some minor moves the rest of the way. If every move is about "Flexibility" it is hard to build a winner.
English
@dbearak Thats what makes this trade even more perplexing. PG still has 2 whole years left at 53 million. That contract is soo bad it was worth it for Philly to send out 1 first just to dump it and Boston just took it on.
English
@Pass1st11 @BKNBUZZ @BobSacamano_5 That's my problem with fans and writers never holding Marks accountable. He can claim flexibility until infinity and no one questions when that will turn into actual moves. Been the same script for a while now.
English
@BKNBUZZ @BobSacamano_5 You can walk and chew gun at the same time. This will be back to back offseaons with cap and trade flexibility and yet there are no veterans on this team with any future here. Kicking the can every offseason isnt a strategy. We have no infrastructure
English
There’s no way you wanted Trae Young or Anthony Davis on this roster lmao. Be better Bob.
Bob Sacamano@BobSacamano_5
@RaymondSultan There were ways to tank and have talent. Look what the jazz did with Lauri and JJJ and Keyonte. Look what the wizards did. Look what the sixers did the year before with Macey. That’s a bad excuse
English
@JfromBk I don't understand this at all. If he is soo good, why did he play 6 minutes a game in the playoffs? We are paying him almost as much money as Shamet and Alvarado combined who were key bench pieces for a championship team.
English
Drafted 4 PG’s in the first round in the last 2 drafts, signed a PG with our first signing in 2026 free agency. I SEE THE VISION😱
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Free agent guard Keon Ellis has agreed to a two-year, $18 million guaranteed deal with the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN.
English
@BillyReinhardt Anyone who has paid attention to how Tsai and Marks have operated the last 5 years knows the Brown was never a consideration for the nets.
English
Jaylen Brown is a fantastic player but he’s 30 years old and any team who acquires him will essentially be committing 5-years, $325M to him post-extension.
How many teams would be willing to sign him outright for that number? Very few. Now, how many teams would be willing to trade significant assets AND pay Brown that number. That’s the issue Boston is running into.
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
Jaylen Brown’s trade value appears to be lower than Boston expected, per @sam_amick “Barring a drastic and unforeseen change in the market, the Boston Celtics will have to significantly lower their asking price if they plan on trading him anytime soon.” (Via nytimes.com/athletic/live-…)
English
Nets better actually have plans for their cap space whether that is with Kessler/Duren/a star/ or at bare minimum salaries for really solid picks, otherwise this is just a massive dud of back to back offseasons
