[Saba Sports News] The Brooklyn Nets, despite their challenges with retaining NBA superstars, maintain confidence in their ability to attract top talent in the future, as reported by Nets insider Brian Lewis. Nets executives firmly believe that players will still be drawn to playing in New York City.
In the recent past, the Nets boasted star-studded lineups featuring Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden, among others. While their current roster features Ben Simmons as their highest-paid player, Simmons has struggled with injuries and low scoring averages over the past few seasons.
With the team’s current struggles, ranking 11th in the Eastern Conference and lacking their own draft picks, the Nets aim to rebound by acquiring another superstar to complement their existing talent. As Simmons’ contract expires next year, the Nets will have an opportunity to pursue top-level players and gauge their interest in joining the team.
