The Brooklyn Nets made an early entry into the offseason. We knew it would be this way for several weeks, but it\u2019s still a bit striking to see a bushel of teams duking it out on national television every night, and our guys cosplaying as Arthur Morgan or sitting court side with Ice Spice.<\/p>\n
Yes, Brooklyn players did both of those things last week. The guys are already making the most of their time off, and frankly, they should be. Once the playoffs roll through, we\u2019ll be about two weeks away from the draft and less than a month away from the start of Summer League. Time indeed flies when you\u2019re having fun.<\/p>\n

To at least keep tabs on everyone, we\u2019ve put together another social media roundup, the first of this offeason. Several players took time over the past few weeks for some season recap posts. And, as mentioned, others went straight into vacation mode. Here\u2019s what we have for you.<\/p>\n
From Brooklyn to\u2026<\/p>\n
Brooklyn\u2019s top pick in last year\u2019s draft wasted little time getting out of Brooklyn. He\u2019s certainly had the look of a highway man as well, recently venturing out west for some horseback riding.<\/p>\n
Not long before that, D\u00ebmin also went golfing<\/a> with creator Noah Schone. He also visited his alma mater, where he caught ball game<\/a> and appeared to get a workout in. I don\u2019t want to make a mountain out of a molehill, but the latter has to be a good sign in terms of his left plantar fascia injury management.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n However, D\u00ebmin isn\u2019t the only rookie on the road right now. Earlier this week, Drake Powell got out to Iceland (the thinking man\u2019s Cancun?) Ziaire Williams<\/a> asked why Powell had gloves on in the comments, where Tyrese Martin<\/a> replied \u201cknowing him prolly out there Rock climbing and shi.\u201d<\/p>\n Jalen Wilson<\/a>, Ziaire Williams, and Terance Mann<\/a> are sticking together. The three of them appear to be on a trip somewhere tropical\u2026<\/p>\n Farewell Posts<\/p>\n Several Nets also posted slideshows over the past two weeks bidding farewell to the 2025-26 season. Believe it or not, it\u2019s already been three years in the NBA for Jalen Wilson\u2026<\/p>\n D\u00ebmin also posted a series of highlights and fit pics from the season. Vince Carter<\/a> and Hugo Gonz\u00e1lez<\/a> of the Boston Celtics<\/a> both make an appearance.<\/p>\n The Nets have a club option on Malachi Smith<\/a>\u2019s contract for next year. His post reminded us how many big moments he had after getting the call up at the end of the season.<\/p>\n Ben Saraf<\/a> did the same. Somehow his editor missed his dunk on Draymond Green<\/a>, but we\u2019ll link it here<\/a> for your viewing pleasure.<\/p>\n In his end-of-season post, Day\u2019Ron Sharpe wrote \u201cPeace and blessings. Until next time.\u201d Brooklyn has a team option on his contract this summer as well. After a career season from the now five-year NBA vet, I\u2019m pretty confident \u201cnext time\u201d will be back in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n Noah Clowney<\/a> captioned his post in a similar fashion. This past year was his third in the league, and his best statistically in terms of scoring, passing, and rebounding.<\/p>\n Our last end-of-season reel belongs to Josh Minott<\/a>. Much of it was made out of clips from his coming out game vs the New York Knicks<\/a>. Next year, let\u2019s hope he gets that sought after win against them.<\/p>\n Two-ways Tyson Etienne<\/a>, Chaney Johnson<\/a>, and E.J. Liddell<\/a> all dropped end-of-season posts as well. Liddell shouted out both the Brooklyn and Long Island staff for their work with him over the course of the campaign.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n \u201cThank you Brooklyn & Long Island for another year in this league,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s been a year full of growth & lessons that I will carry for the rest of my life. One thing I can say I learned is that through habits & discipline you forge a character rich with courage and peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
