As for the Nets, they are coming off a season where they were the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 32-50 record.

They missed the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2018 season.

After trading away Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant (and now Mikal Bridges), the franchise has entered into a significant rebuilding mode that will likely take several years.
