Nets open and ‘prepared’ to go after superstar this summer: ‘That could happen’

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:51:54 GMT

Nets general manager Sean Marks says star forward Mikal Bridges can be Brooklyn’s No. 1 scoring option moving forward — but that’s not going to stop him searching for another one this offseason.Speaking to reporters in his end-of-the-season exit interview, Marks was complimentary of the job Bridges did holding down the fort as the Nets’ primary option on offense after he arrived in Brooklyn as part of the Kevin Durant deal.The GM, however, also left the door open for striking an offseason deal that brings more of a household-name kind of star scorer into the fold for next season, especially if it vaults Brooklyn back into championship contention.“It would be way too soon to call that. I think we need to let the dust settle a little bit but we’ve always been prepared,” Marks said on Sunday. “In this day and age, we’ve all seen players demand trades, players behind the scenes ask for this, teams change — whether it’s ow...

Re-signing Cam Johnson a priority for Nets this offseason: ‘We hope he’s back’

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:51:54 GMT

Retaining restricted free agent Cam Johnson is a priority for the Nets — and Johnson suggests he’s more than open to the idea of staying in Brooklyn.There are a number of reasons why Johnson’s fit on a Nets team likely re-tooling this summer makes sense. Chief among them: He is a valuable player at his position, one the Nets are grateful to have pried from the Phoenix Suns in the Kevin Durant megadeal at the Feb. 9 NBA Trade Deadline.Johnson averaged 16.6 points on 37.5% three-point shooting in his 25 regular-season games with the Nets. In four playoff games, he assumed a larger scoring responsibility and managed to increase his efficiency. When the 76ers trapped Mikal Bridges, Johnson became another focal point of Brooklyn’s offense. He averaged 18.5 points through the four-game series against the Sixers and shot at a 43% clip from downtown.“Cam knows how we feel,” Nets general manager Sean Marks said during his end-of-the-season exit interview w...
