Some of their own selections have swap rights attached from previous trades, although Brooklyn&#8217;s 2026 first rounder and every other one in the near future should be off limits in any deals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The good news? The Nets still own unprotected first-round picks from the Knicks in 2027, 2029 and 2031 from the Mikal Bridges trade that they can use as bait if they want.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Brooklyn took three ball-handling guards in the 2025 draft (Egor D\u0451min, Nolan Traor\u00e9, Ben Saraf) and almost certainly won&#8217;t be able to develop all three as the team becomes more competitive. D\u0451min, the No. 8 overall pick, is probably safe but the Nets could test the trade waters for one of their other guards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Is Claxton, 27, too old for this Nets timeline? They need his interior defense and rebounding for now, although general manager Sean Marks should at least be assessing his value around the league.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brooklyn Nets own a whopping 14 first-round picks over the next seven drafts.
