The NBA postseason is in full swing, but the Nets season ended two weeks ago — meaning they’re already planning and plotting for next season.
Brooklyn general manager Sean Marks (not to mention coach Jacque Vaughn and team owner Joe Tsai) will be busy this summer with some big questions looming on the horizon. Trading Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in February closed their championship window, but there is plenty of retooling left to do and decisions to be made.
What’s the long-term plan at point guard?
With Spencer Dinwiddie’s future with the team anything but certain (more on that later), it’s unclear what the long-term plan is…but the perfect plan is Damian Lillard.
There are whispers that Brooklyn’s interest in the Portland star is very real. Lillard is close with rising Nets star Mikal Bridges, whom he has called his favorite small forward in the entire NBA and who works out in the offseason with Lillard and his Trail Blazers teammates Anfernee Simons and Nassir Little.
