Just how overdue was the rebuild in Brooklyn?
It's no secret that the Brooklyn Nets will be a tanking team to start the 2024-25 NBA season. After trading away star forward Mikal Bridges in June, a move many saw coming in a matter of time, Brooklyn has made Cam Thomas the center of their organization, surrounding him with young draft picks and a new head coach in Jordi Fernandez.
While many fans are happy that the team has decided to start over, the rebuild was long overdue. If the Nets didn't wait to trade away their most valuable piece, they wouldn't have been nearly a year late to the punch. It was clear that despite Bridges averaging 26.1 points with the Nets in his 27 games played, the team was on the decline. They instead decided to push to win with Bridges, Cameron Johnson, and other veterans for the entirety of last season, resulting in a 32-50 record.
