Review:Brooklyn Nets Face Tough Decision Following Harden, Irving, and Durant Trades…
Harden was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers just over a year after he was acquired. Irving went to the Dallas Mavericks, and Durant was sent to the Phoenix Suns last season. Now, after creating one of the biggest ‘what if?’ scenarios in NBA history, Marks faces another difficult decision.

The Houston Rockets are reportedly very interested in Mikal Bridges, the Nets’ valuable player from the Durant trade. After unsuccessfully trying to trade for Bridges at this year’s deadline, some insiders believe Houston might offer their third-overall pick this year in exchange for the versatile wing.
This presents Marks’ first option: continue dismantling the team, acquiring future assets, and rebuilding.
