Brooklyn Nets’ offseason grade SPARKS debate | Did Sean Marks fumble the bag during pivotal summer?

Brooklyn Nets’ offseason grade SPARKS debate | Did Sean Marks fumble the bag during pivotal summer?

Coming up, the Nets just about put a pin in their off season by making several transactions official. What grade should they receive after one of the NBA’s most active off seasons? I’ll answer that after this. [Music] You are Locked on Nets, your daily Brooklyn Nets podcast, part of the Locked on Podcast Network, your team every day.

I hope you guys didn’t bet on the Giants yesterday, who for the third consecutive season got embarrassed during their first game. Lost 21-6 to the Commanders. And third straight year in week one without scoring a touchdown. They’re the first team to do that uh since 1925, I think, since the Bears. So just, you know, a centurylong, you know, incompetence that we’re able to witness here. If you guys don’t know, I’m a diehard Giants fan. Uh, you know, played basketball my whole life, but also played football and ended up I played five years of division one football. I still love watching football. I hope to cover football one day. And this Giants team just every year just rips my heart out. And not even like so much this year because I didn’t really have expectations entering the year. You know, a lot of fellow Giants fans I know were coming to me with like the preseason hype train and we’re putting up all these points and Jackson Dart and this and that. And I was like, I I don’t think they’re going to be good because you just like the O line, you just look at this. I’ve been watching Giants football. I remember the Super Bowls. We’re now like what, 12, 13 years that they have not been able to fix this offensive line. They’ve ruined the end of Eli Manning’s career. And we’ve just gone through this. And the offensive line has been a complete dumpster fire for over a decade now. It’s like they just can’t get it right. And not only are the Giants bad, they’re just miserable to watch because the offense is so bad. And now you got Shane and Dball coming back, you know, presum presumably having to improve something this season to keep their jobs. And it looks like they’re just going to lose because the schedule’s brutal and you’re going to, you know, have to fire those guys probably even though they just picked a quarterback in Jackson Dart. So now you have a new regime coming in with a quarterback they didn’t pick. I’m rambling. It’s just it’s a disaster. I know this isn’t a Giants podcast, but I love the Giants, but I hate them so much over the last half decade for how incompetent they are. for the ownership and the front office and their incompetence. And if I were giving them a grade, I would give them below an F whatever I could. But I’m not talking about the Giants on this podcast. I’m talking about the Nets. And on today’s show, I’m going to be giving my grade for the Nets off seasonason, which will not be an F, but will not be glowing either. I’ll dive into their draft, their trade, and free agent moves as they enter a pivotal year too in this rebuild. And I’ve gone back and forth on what the grade is for the Nets this offseason. And it’s tough because I do think you have to take all, you know, into account. You have to take the draft into account. You have to take the trades into account. And you have to take obviously the free agent moves. And it’s difficult for the draft because any draft is going to be an incomplete grade, especially a Nets draft where they made an NBA record, five first round picks, you know, first team to ever do that. So just a historic draft and we’re going to need some time before we can truly grade it. But I will do my best based on the evaluations I’ve had of these players watching the tape since the draft, based on what other pundits have had to say, based on what other NBA people have had to say, and then obviously just, you know, having more opinions on the moves that involve players that I already know. But I’ve landed on a I’d say a average to below average grade. I guess, you know, if we’re saying a C grade is average, maybe slightly above average in that perspective, I’d say about a C++ is where I’ve landed on. C plus B minus, not good, not awful, but kind of just like blleh is where I landed on this Net’s off seasonason. And a lot of that stems from the draft because the goal of this off season was to land a transformational player for this franchise and most likely that was going to come through the draft. Although they did have three routes available to them. They had the draft, they had trades, they had free agent market, even though free agency is pretty much done. But the goal was to get a player who could be the face of this rebuild and kickstart it, who could presumably be a perennial all-star talent for years to come. And that’s why the Nets when they traded Male Bridges traded back for their 2025 and 2026 first round picks from the Houston Rockets paid, you know, four first round picks to get back those two with the intention of trying to set themselves up to land a transformational talent who could lead them forward in this rebuild. And they were not able to do that. And that starts in the draft. And the draft for me is going to be the biggest reason for this being a grade in the C range or maybe the low like B minus range because I do not think that they landed a transformational player. And they went in and a lot of that has to do with how they handled the prior season, how they handled their tank. And I’ve always said or I’ve continuously said while I do think the Nets were tanking, I don’t think that that’s debatable, they did not tank to the same degree that some of these other teams did. when you talk about the Jazz, uh, the Hornets, the Utah Jazz, the Washington Wizards, Nets did not tank to that degree or had that level of shamelessness until the very end of the season where it was pretty much already set. And because of that, they fell to the six lottery odds. They fell to the eighth pick. Obviously, there’s luck involved in that. I’m not going to continue to litigate that. But you look at the teams that finished at the top. They all had picks ahead of the Nets. A lot of them ended up with players who I’d be a little bit more excited about. Whether you talk about a Khan Canipple or you talk about a Trey Johnson or whoever you want to say, those are some guys that I think Nets fans could get a little bit more excited about than what they ended up with and they didn’t get there. And also, you know, you had the Nets falling in this draft or not setting themselves up with the best lottery odds and falling to the eighth pick, but they had just this arsenal of draft picks with four first round picks in this year’s draft. They had obviously all the first round picks beyond that. You thought, okay, maybe they’ll still be able to swing a trade up and get a, you know, top draft talent. they’ll be able to set themselves up that way. And by everything that I heard, I did reporting on it. They tried, they tried to trade up into the top four. They, you know, made calls about that. They were not able to do it. None of those teams ended up moving their picks. And because of that, they were not able to land one of the top guys in the draft. And they also stuck and made five first round picks, which I’m not sure that was the plan entering the draft. So, you know, you talk about who the Nets got. It’s obviously headlined by Jay Gordon. First lottery pick in 15 years for this team. You have the rest of the draft with Nolan Troy, Drake, Drake Pal, uh Ben Saraf, and Danny Wolf. And if you’re talking about are any of those guys going to be face of the franchise type players for this Nets team, I am not very confident in it. I think you’d say the best chance obviously is Jory, but there are just some limitations there that I think limit the upside. The Nets clearly disagree because if you watched the scout series on YouTube, they were talking about it. They went through each player and kind of gave you little like snippets of what they were saying in the meetings about these players. And one of the things that you heard about Jagor Domen that stuck out to me was believer in the upside. They believe in the upside with Domen as a 6’9 player who they think can dribble, pass, shoot, and has defensive versatility. That’s the cell. And I understand it. I did the draft podcast recap right after the draft with Lucas Kaplan. I’ve talked about it numerous times beyond that. And I understand the case for Dyman. And I’m going to be rooting for him because I think he’s got it between the ears. He’s a really likable kid. I think he’s going to be an extremely hard worker. All of these things that are really important to me. I think there are upside limitations with him based on his ball handling, based on his ability to play through contact, based on his, you know, creativity, you know, his natural ability as a a shot creator and a self creator or lack thereof. I think that those are things that are naturally going to limit his ceiling. And hey, maybe he turns into a really good NBA player and that would be great, you know, because at the eighth pick in the draft, that’s a win if you can get a starter for years to come. But with the moves the Nets made entering this summer, with what they paid to get that first round pick back and all the assets that they had beyond that to potentially make a trade, you would hope that they were going to land a, you know, face of the franchise type talent. And I just don’t think they did that. Could I be wrong? I could absolutely be wrong. I hope I’m wrong. you guys can come back and scold me and I will eat as many L’s as I have to gladly. I just am not sure. And you look at it like there’s a lot of times I’ve talked to NBA front office people. There’s a lot of people who cover the draft who spend extensive amount of times, you know, amount of time following these players. And by all accounts, you know, all of the Nets picks by consensus were reaches. And, you know, this is a Nets front office with Shawn Marks that has been here since 2016. They obviously have one playoff series win. a lot of that, some of that in their control, some of that out of their control with some things that happened like COVID and injuries and all those things. But with that amount of lack of success, I would think that this front office doesn’t have the longest leash ever moving forward. And for them to stick their neck out and have this type of conviction in a lot of players like Gilman, like Troy, like Pal, all these guys that a lot of people had ranked lower, the Nets really went out on a limb with this draft. And I think that for some people like I talked about this with Lucas um you know the night after the draft when we did our pod and I said like maybe that makes me feel a little better in it because this was really important for the Nets to nail this draft and they made some picks that clearly they had a lot of conviction on because they were not the consensus pick. So if you can rationalize it in your head that way maybe that makes you feel better. Lucas joked he was like that makes me feel completely worse about it. Wherever you guys land on the spectrum that’s where you land. But I just am not sure out of all these players that there is going to be a transformational type player in this group. I think there can be guys who are NBA rotation pieces, but this offseason I think that you would hope the Nets were aiming a little bit higher with that. And from the draft perspective, it’s an incomplete grade. Um, you know, for the foreseeable future, we’ll need at least a season or two to properly evaluate these guys and see what they’re going to be. But I think it would be more of a surprise than not if one of these guys turned into an all-star talent for the Nets. They could still be good players. that could still be a positive where there was a foundation laid. But I do think that this draft, I think, isn’t necessarily a positive in their grade the way that you would have hoped it was. But the draft is not the only part of the offseason. We also had three separate trades. We had several free agent signings. All of that does play into the grade as well. So, I’ll talk about all that, how I felt about it, and how I think it could impact the next rebuild trajectory after a quick break.

The Nets just about made their off seasonason official by resigning Dron Sharp and Zer Williams. They formally announced that both two-year $12.5 million deals. Team options in the second year. They also obviously had Cam Thomas accept the qualifying offer. So, they’re just about done. Like there be some tweaks and roster moves obviously made around the margins, but for the most part they’re done. And I said my my grade for the offseason I think comes in around a C++. I would say B minus at the highest end probably a C++. And the reason for that, a lot of it was the draft uncertainty with the moves they made. But the reason that it’s not lower than that is I did like some of the trade moves that they made and the way that they navigated having the, you know, NBA the only being the only team in the NBA with significant cap space and putting that themselves in that position. And I’ve actually heard from some fans that were not happy with the way that the Nets operated and think that it was, you know, subpar and lackluster from that standpoint. We heard a lot about the Nets controlling the off season and, you know, a lot of salary dumps going to have to go through them. They had all this space. teams really needed them and I think fans maybe were expecting something more, but I’m not sure why because I think the Nets did pretty well from a trade perspective. I mean, you look at the first trade that they made obviously with um the Atlanta Hawks it being a salary dump. They used space. They took on Terrence Mansel. They got the number 22 pick in a draft that by all accounts is regarded as a really strong draft. Now, they went on to use that pick on Drake Pal. We’ll see how he turns out. From a process standpoint, they got a, you know, decent pick in a what’s presumed as a good draft for taking on a contract that’s three years, you know, $15 million annually. Not like a crazy deal. I don’t think that that was a bad deal. I think it’s good business. Look at the next trade they made even bigger obviously with Michael Porter Jr. acquiring him alongside an unprotected 2032 first round pick from the Nuggets for Cam Johnson. I think there were, you know, the opinions on this trade were all over the board. I think Bill Simmons called this like the worst trade of the last decade which is just, you know, I love Bill Simmons but extremely ridiculous take by him. And you look at that trade and I think that I’ve had a favorable view on that trade because the way that I’ve been looking at it is they had this cap space. They were going to have to use it on something. They still have cap space left over after all these moves. So this move didn’t even exhaust all their cap space, but they got Michael Porter Jr. who I think is in a similar tier of player to uh Cam Johnson. I just wrote an article about this today. The Athletic put out their top 40 wing rankings ahead of this season. They had Cam Johnson at 18. They had Michael Porter Jr. at 20. So really close. I think similar tier of play tier of player. I think Cam Johnson is a better player. But they got a similar tier of player who’s two years younger. Could fit their timeline or they could look to flip him. And they also picked up an unprotected 2032 first round pick from a Nuggets team that’s going allin right now. We have no idea what they’re going to be in 2032. So, I like that trade because I think they got Michael Porter Jr. who could be an asset whether from rehabilitating his value or just being a big aspiring, you know, a guy who’s not an incompetent player or a bad player by any means. You could look to flip him in a trade. And they also got that 2032 first round pick and they could look to resign Michael Porter Jr. after his contract ends and then you retain him as an asset. Maybe he’s a part of the next iteration of your rebuild or maybe you kick down the can down the road and you can flip him down the line. But getting that in exchange for Cam Johnson and I feel like replacing Cam Johnson’s value and also getting that 2032 first round pick unprotected which people around the NBA have a very favorable view of that asset and a lot of teams are eyeing that. I think that that was a good deal for the Nets. And then you look beyond that they now have uh Haywood Highmith they got from the Miami Heat um alongside an unprotected 2030 uh Miami Heat second round pick. And Haywood Highmith is also a player I did an episode about this who I feel if he comes back and he is healthy and performs the way that he has in prior seasons, they’ll be able to flip at the deadline. So you look at that, that’s maybe two second round picks they got out of that. They still have space left over that they will, you know, bring into the offseason. The financials of where the Nets are at right now. They, you know, with signing uh Don Sharp and Zire Williams and Cam Thomas, all the salaries around $6 million. They’re right up to the salary floor right now. And what that means is NBA teams have to spend 90% of the salary cap before the first day of the regular season. And the Nets are just about there. But even with that, they’re going to have, you know, 15 plus million, a little bit over $15 million in cap space left that they can carry over into the regular season. So they’ll probably hold that right up until the trade deadline and have that space available for any teams that are re-evaluating their situation. Every year teams come in, they think they’re going to be something, they’re not. Some teams are worse than they expected to be. Some teams are better than they expected to be. And that leads to moves at the deadline because, you know, a lot of teams obviously have to reevaluate at that point. If the Nets had that cap space, it could still be used down the line. I think that there will be deals available to be made. I think the Boston Celtics are an interesting team to look at. I’ve spoken about them. There’s other teams that are going to need to shed salary. The 76ers, another team. There’s going to be more deals to be made. And the bottom line with the amount of cap space the Nets had, you know, they took on salary. They got back two first round picks which I think are both good first round picks. Also got Michael Porter Jr. who I think could be an asset and I think we’ll end up coming away from this with two three seconds maybe get another player. Like I just with the amount of cap space they had and you look at what other teams got in salary dumps last off season. I don’t think that it was a bad outcome by any stretch of the imagination. Like I had Yosi Goslin on my podcast ahead of the offseason. He was skeptical that the Nets were going to be able to use their cap space to even get any like premium first round picks or assets in these deals because the lack of success that other NBA teams had trying to do that same thing last off season. I look at what they got. I think that it was not bad business. I think that they picked up a lot for free in terms of, you know, Drake Pal or the number 22 in that pick in that draft. Whether or not you like Drake Pal is a separate discussion. Also getting that unprotected pick and Michael Porter Jr. I just think that it was good business and I think the Nets put themselves in an advantageous position by only taking on players with expiring contracts in order to preserve their cap space. Some would argue that was at the expense of their tank last season because they waited to trade guys like Dennis Shruder and Dorian Finny Smith until they could make sure they got back at Spirings. But regardless, they had an advantageous position. I think that they were able to add to what is a leading chest of draft capital. I mean they have um you know nine tradable first round picks over the next seven years. I think 12 or 13 total first round picks. They have 19 second round picks. I think people might be tired of hearing that, but at some point they’re going to be able to cash in some of those chips. And that Denver unprotected 2032 first round pick. When the Nets are trying to improve, trying to make a leap probably after this season if they’re eyeing some stars on the trade market, that pick is going to headline obviously uh the package in terms of the draft picks that they have. They’ll be able to give up a lot of picks and they also have these young prospects that they draft. And if any of them start to show value, start to show early returns of being promising, they could be here. They could also be trade bait down the line with the volume of guys that the Nets got. So from the port trade perspective, I think that the Nets did well. I think that they should receive good grades for those deals. And I think that it was a smart use of the cap space that they did have. And then beyond that, we had some free agent moves, we had some incumbent moves, we had a few other guys around the margins who could be guys coming in from other teams who maybe could make the roster. So, I’ll talk about that, whether I think Shawn Marks and Co. did a good job there when I close out Lockdown Nets after a quick break. Coming back from the break on today’s lockdown Nets episode, giving my offseason grade for what Brooklyn did over the summer. And I talked about the draft, I talked about the trade, and now I’m going to talk about the free agent part of it. And there were several moves made in the last few days or several moves made official. I said Zier Williams and Dron Sharper officially resigned. And then Cam Thomas obly obviously accepted his uh qualifying offer at one year 6 million. I did a full episode on with Michael Scott on that reacting to that. You know sitting back on it and you know kind of letting it percolate and thinking about it a little bit more. I don’t think too much of my thoughts have changed. You know I don’t think it’s unfortunate that the Nets and Cam were not able to come to an agreement on a longer term deal that would keep him in Brooklyn because I do think that he’s a very exciting young player. I do think that he has, you know, extremely, you know, tantalizing offensive potential and offensive scoring and what he’s able to do, but I’ve just I’ve held firm that I’m not sure that Cam’s player archetype is going to allow him to be a starting player in a playoff caliber rotation. And for me, a lot of that has been on the defensive end of the floor because I’ve watched Cam’s tape. I’ve dug into it more this offseason, just looking at what he did last year in the 25 games that he played. And the defense is just it’s pretty abysmal. It’s just not good. Like the tape has not been there. The effort hasn’t been there. And that’s the biggest thing for me. The effort, the want to, the engagement haven’t been there on that end of the floor. And if you’re looking at the way that basketball is being played, if you look at the NBA playoffs and the level that these teams are playing at deeper into the playoffs, just an undersized guard like Cam who, you know, struggles to defend the way that he does, I’m just not sure that that’s a player that is going to be, you know, able to play in those moments. And clearly the NBA has a similar view and how they’re valuing these guys. And I’ve outlined it based off of how players like Colin Ston, Norm Pal, Anthony Simons, Jordan Clarkson, whoever else you want to say, how these guys are being valued. These undersized score first guards who struggle on defense, they’re just not being valued. And that from that perspective, I think if the Nets were to resign Cam to a medium to long-term deal at $20 million plus like some fans probably wanted them to, I just think the Nets were, you know, clear in how they thought that they thought that that was going to be a negative value contract. And I’m not sure like I I don’t think a lot of the league would disagree. I don’t disagree. I mean, based on what I’ve heard about the interest that teams have had in CAM or lack thereof, there just hasn’t been an interest in CAM. There was nothing I heard about other teams being interested in Cam this off seasonason, whether with the mid-level exception, uh, the non-t taxpayer mid-level exception, whether via a sign-in trade, no interest there. I haven’t heard anything about teams having significant trade interest in him in the past. And I’m just not sure that that contract would be a positive value asset. And I think that while it’s unfortunate that this probably marks the beginning of the end of his Nets’s tenure, I do think that I think he’ll probably get traded um early or midway through this coming season. I think that he’ll be, you know, either stay with that team he gets traded to or be a free agent and sign somewhere else next offseason. That’s unfortunate, but I think that that outcome is better than overpaying him and saddling yourself with a bad deal. That might hurt your long-term flexibility. The Nets were never going to do that. Everything that I’ve heard, they wanted team control in the second year. The reported offer, the two-year reported offer was two years, $30 million um with a team option in the second year. Cam had a problem with that team option, I think. And obviously the amount of money he wanted to be much higher. And then they’d offered him the one-year deal at you know $3.5 million over his qualifying offer to um you know take to pretty much wave his no trade clause and he didn’t want to do that. He wanted to retain the no trade clause. So I just think that the relationship wasn’t going anywhere and I think the Nets weren’t going to bid against themselves. They weren’t going to overpay. And while it’s unfortunate that that’s going to result in Cam leaving, uh, most likely, I do think that it’s probably the best move from a business perspective for the Nets and where they’re going in this rebuild and the long-term flexibility that they’re going to want to have. The other free agent signings I would give positive reviews to. I mean, they got starting with Dron Sharp, a guy who I think had a really positive season last year. Continued to be a dominant force on the offensive boards, showed a lot of improvement defensively, you know, pretty much eye-opening improvement defensively. Things that I didn’t think he was going to be able to do in terms of his mobility, in terms of being a guy who could be scheme versatile, whether playing a switch scheme, whether hedging out on the guys, whether switching onto the perimeter, whether playing some drop, I think he was good in all of it and the numbers, I think, back that up. So, that was really positive. and then offensively has some potential as a halfcourt hub, a passing big man. The finishing will have to improve, but all those things, I just think he’s going to be a rotation caliber big man for the foreseeable future for the Nets to get him at two years, $12 million with a team option in the second year. I think that that’s a great deal. I thought that Dron was going to get more money than that. And it puts Dhon in a position where it’s similar to Nick Claxton. You know what Nick Claxton did? He played out his rookie contract and he had like a two-year $17 million deal after that, but it was like a bridge deal. And now with Dron, we’ll see if he’s able to reach the heights than Nick Claxton did. But he’ll have this two years to prove his worth and if so, he’ll get signed to a larger amount on his next deal and will be a piece for the Nets moving forward. But I think that that was good value for Dron and it maintains flexibility for the Nets moving forward into the next two seasons of this rebuild. And Zire, same thing. Like I don’t think he’s at Dron’s level of player, but I think he’s a guy that was about all of the right things last season in this Nets locker room. He really loved being here. I talked to him at several points about the transition from Memphis to the Nets and he was just, you know, like head over heels about this Nets coaching staff, about how they’ve approached his development, about how they’ve approached encouraging to do certain things on the court. And he had a career best season. He’s a player that, while I don’t know if he’s going to be a rotation player, like a guy who’s playing playoff minutes moving forward or, you know, as he goes forward in his career, we’ll see. But I do think that he’s a valuable depth depth piece for an NBA team and I like what they did with him there. So those were all I think free agent moves that I don’t disagree with how the Nets handled it. I think they got good value on some of those guys and Cam Thomas situation. He’s going to have to probably go because of this and that’s unfortunate but you know it’s better than overpaying. And then they also made some other moves around the margins like we’ve heard about Ricky Council from the 76ers. He’s I think a partially guaranteed minimum deal. I’m not too excited about him but they’re going to have some decisions to make after this like the moves that they do have left this off seasonason. They have you include that Ricky Council signing. They have 19 players on standard contracts. You’re only allowed to carry 15 at the uh start of the regular season or during the regular season. So, they’re gonna have to cut four guys. And the guys on partially or non-g guaranteed contracts, it’s Keon Johnson, Jaylen Wilson, Tyrese Martin, Drew Timmy, now Ricky Council also. So, they’ll have to get rid of, you know, several of those guys. There still also could be trades made. We’ll see. They have cap space left, but you know, we’ll see how they handle the rest of that. But overall, I think the Nets off season is going to be defined by and heavily tied to their draft. And because of the draft and the uncertainty that I have about it, I think a C++ grade is fair. You know, given the uncertainty about that, but given what I liked what they did with the trades and with the free agent signings, that’s where I think it will come in at. And we’ll see. It’s somewhat of an incomplete grade because we’re going to have to see about this rookie draft class. We’re going to have to see how all these guys develop. And I think how this draft class develops and how they move forward will ultimately be, you know, a big determining factor in whether Shawn Marx stays here as a GM uh for the long run. But that does it for this episode of Locked on Nets. Hope you guys enjoyed the talk having to do with everything the Nets did this offseason. It was a really busy summer and I think that there were a lot of moves that will have, you know, lasting impacts for the foreseeable future.
