GM Sean Marks indicates Nets open for business

So what’s next? General manager Sean Marks didn’t exactly tip his hand.

“It depends a little on what becomes available. You just never know,” Marks said Monday, via Brian Lewis of the New York Post.

Marks emphasized flexibility, something the Nets have quietly built toward over the last couple of seasons.

“We’ve put this Nets team and franchise in a place to be able to be opportunistic,” he said. “Does that fit our timeline? Does this particular trade work for us right now?”

In other words, they’re open for business. But only if it makes sense.

Marks noted that adding talent is one thing. Adding the right talent is another, especially with a young core still developing under head coach Jordi Fernandez.

Those decisions, Marks said, will involve internal discussions with the coaching staff and ownership, including Joe Tsai.

Then there’s the big contract question.

Forward Michael Porter Jr. is entering the final year of his deal and is extension-eligible this summer. He’s set to earn $40.8 million in 2026-27 and could hit unrestricted free agency in 2027 without a new agreement.

“This summer there’s going to be a lot of those discussions,” Marks said, per C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News. “Whether it’s with Michael, there’s a variety of decisions we have to make.”

That includes balancing the long view with whatever short-term upgrades may present themselves.

The Nets, at least for now, are keeping their options open. And that may be exactly where they want to be.
