The Brooklyn Nets have been one of the league’s worst teams for the past couple of years, and that might not change any time soon. Entering next season, the Nets are expected to be in the mix for the top pick in the draft.
Building teams primarily through the draft has become popularized in recent years in the NBA. The Brooklyn Nets have been crushed before by trading for superstars and giving up draft capital, so this time, general manager Sean Marks is taking a different approach.
Cam Thomas believes he’s a star. And there’s no telling him otherwise. Not Sean Marks, other NBA GMs and certainly not Zach Lowe, etc. Not any of the fans or pundits who felt whatever they did about him amid contract negotiations.
From the very start of this NBA offseason, the Brooklyn Nets have had a plan. Acquire loads of young talent through the NBA Draft, and bring in some veterans who could be moved at the trade deadline.
xxx Cam Thomas is back with the Nets — at least for now. The high-scoring guard signed his qualifying offer earlier this month, worth just under $6 million, after restricted free agent talks stalled out.
Basketball originated as a distinctly American game. It had international roots, though, as the game's inventor, James Naismith, was Canadian. In the years since, the NBA has been flooded with league-defining international talent.
Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas spoke on Tuesday for the first time since signing his one-year, $6 million qualifying offer. The fifth-year guard admitted his failed contract negotiation was “unfortunate” and “frustrating.” He reportedly declined a two-year, $30 million offer and a one-year, $9.5 million offer.
The drama that ensued between the Brooklyn Nets and Cam Thomas this summer once seemed like it was destined to carry over into the 2025-26 regular season.
The Brooklyn Nets are still in the midst of a massive rebuild at the moment. The current roster is young and full of first, second and third-year players who the front office hopes can be the foundation for the next winning team in Brooklyn.
The Brooklyn Nets' front office has accomplished plenty this summer. As the offseason comes to a close and teams prepare to kick off the 2025-26 campaign in late October, what could remain on a hypothetical priority list belonging to General Manager Sean Marks?
With the NBA season around the corner, the Brooklyn Nets are hosting an annual fan event in their backyard. The Nets will host “Practice in the Park” on Sept.
The Brooklyn Nets are set for another season of the rebuild, but they have to remain focused. Over the past decade and change, the Nets have made some shortsighted moves.
As the smoke clears following the crash-and-burn of this morning’s news re Cam Thomas acceptance of the $6.0 million qualifying offer, media capologists
The 2025-26 NBA season signals the first true year of the rebuild under Jordi Fernandez and Sean Marks. Their draft selections seemed to be made based on potential instead of grabbing players who were more complete projects.
The Brooklyn Nets' decision to enter a complete roster teardown last summer has blessed general manager Sean Marks with a rare opportunity.

Some individuals have been highly critical of how the Brooklyn Nets opted to navigate the 2025 NBA offseason. The franchise has caught flak for its draft decisions, complacency with cap space and the lack of a desire to chase a big-time name.
The Brooklyn Nets—heading into year two of their complete rebuild—were quite busy this summer. Between re-signing key free agents, setting a new record at the 2025 NBA Draft and surveying the trade market for additional draft capital, the Nets' front office and general manager Sean Marks certainly covered their bases.

NEW YORK – Sean Marks entered the offseason with the biggest chunk of cap space in the league. The Nets had to decide what to do about the contract situations of Cam Thomas, Day’Ron Sharpe, and Ziaire Williams.
The Brooklyn Nets are just at the exordium of their rebuild. The trade market was kind to them last offseason, allowing them to stockpile first-round picks while moving a player that wasn’t able to maintain the role they had envisioned for him.
The Brooklyn Nets could pursue a star-caliber player this NBA offseason, but only if the right opportunity presents itself, general manager Sean Marks said during his end-of-season media session.
Brooklyn Nets GM Sean Marks had his eyes on the ’25 offseason back while the NBA season was still in its early stages in ’24. Months before the trade deadline, the Nets had made it abundantly and publicly clear that they were open for business and got started soon after.
Interim head coach Kevin Ollie is expected to receive consideration for the permanent position. The Nets have gone 11-17 under Ollie, a longtime former NBA player who took over for Jacque Vaughn a couple of months ago.
