The Brooklyn Nets initiated a rebuild when they traded away Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks while also converting future first round picks from the Phoenix Suns into their own, which increases their incentives to do so.
“This build, do I think it’s going to take time? I mean, I think we’ll be strategic in it,” Marks said Monday.
“But I do think being in this market, with this amount of draft assets, we’ve done it before. And so again, I think, not that it’s going to be expedited by any means, but I don’t think it’s a long process, either.”
The Nets received the Knicks’ first-round picks in 2025, 2027, 2029 and 2031, the right to swap first-round picks in 2028, a first-round pick from Milwaukee next year and a second-round pick in 2025.
“I think you have to look yourself in the mirror as an organization and sort of say what’s the best path for us moving forward here, and how do we do this and how do we have that sustainable success that we want,” Marks said. “So when you’re able to [add] that amount of draft assets over the course of the last year, I think that’s going to help us in our trajectory long term.”
