Which players deserved investigation for the Brooklyn Nets’ problems in 2019-20?

Jul 6, 2019Jul 7, 2019

Jul 7, 2019 — Sean Marks

The decision this board surrounds ultimately brought in Kevin Durant. Later outcomes never rewrite the board.

BRK on 2019-07-07: the listed basketball needs were event creation, interior finishing, rebounding. 1 player(s) were publicly on the market, but none had a source linking this team to them. 1 open-market candidate(s) matched at least one listed need. Market access, basketball fit, price, salary route, and legality remain separate.

Historical decision board. A public-market player is not presented as a team target without a named team link. Minimum outgoing salary is not exact legality. Missing asking price is not a zero price. Later outcomes do not alter the decision-date board.
