The good news is that the Brooklyn Nets are no longer heading into a dead end. With the hiring of Sean Marks as the team’s new fearless leader, the Nets at the very least have some direction. And that’s important, and something that we probably couldn’t have said about this team in each of the last few seasons.

Brooklyn may not have a first-round draft pick this in 2017, but they don’t have to worry about making the playoffs. This team knows they don’t have the talent to compete much, if at all. The Nets should worry about getting better every single day.

Perhaps the one hope this team has is the fact that Brook Lopez is still on this roster. He’s the only player that’s going to keep this team honest – and competitive. An interesting storyline to follow, though, is whether they explore a potential trade.
