Brooklyn Nets

Acquired Julius Randle in a three-team deal after moving Claxton, pivoting toward veteran scoring at the four while retaining frontcourt depth via Day'Ron Sharpe's two-year extension and the additions of Moe Wagner and Josh Minott. Declined Ziaire Williams' $6.25M option (he landed with the Lakers), clearing a rotation spot for younger wings. Keon Ellis brings perimeter two-way utility to a roster still anchored by Michael Porter Jr. but lacking elite backcourt creation. With $8.3M in cap space, the infrastructure supports incremental improvement but the ceiling remains capped — play-in conversation rather than postseason certainty.
