Brooklyn: Draft position is everything for the Nets right now. General manager Sean Marks made it clear in a recent chat that winning isn’t the only focus anymore.

He said they need to be smart about their decisions, even if it means not putting the best team on the court right now. After a decent start, the Nets have really struggled, losing five straight games, including a close one against the Jazz.

They’ve traded away some players like Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith, while key guys like Cam Thomas and Ben Simmons are out with injuries. The team is being super careful with anyone who’s hurt.

Looking ahead, the Nets might shake things up even more before the trade deadline. They’re aiming for a top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and that means some players could be on the move.

Marks mentioned they’re always listening for opportunities to build a better team for the future. Right now, projections show they could end up with several picks, but they need a bit of luck to land a top spot.

The Nets have a decent chance of getting a top-four pick, but they know it’s all about the luck of the draw with the lottery. As they gear up for their next game, they’re hoping for a change in fortune.
