The Brooklyn Nets Wiki.
Every trade, every pick, every prospect — traced, connected, and updated.
In February 2023, the Brooklyn Nets traded Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, ending the most ambitious and catastrophic superstar experiment in franchise history. What they got back — multiple first-round picks, swaps, and Michael Porter Jr. — fueled the most aggressive rebuild in the NBA. Now in Year 2 with five rookie first-rounders, a target window of 2027-28, and picks owed through 2032 — Brooklyn has the assets. The question is whether they can build a winner.
“Who is beating the Brooklyn Nets four times in a seven game series? Nobody left.”
