Add in Keon Ellis and Moe Wagner, and the Nets\u2019 depth is also much more respectable than it had been over the past couple of years. With a good mix of borderline All-Stars, veterans and young talent, the Nets may only need one or two things to break their way to find themselves back in the playoffs, making some noise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While it seems evident that Brooklyn\u2019s path to the postseason is viable, the general sentiment around the team hasn\u2019t changed nearly as much as the roster. For example, the Nets\u2019 preseason win total is set at only 24.5.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without control of their first-round pick next season and the additions the Nets made this offseason, hitting the 25-win mark seems almost like an insultingly low goal, even if that would be a five-win improvement from 2025-26.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Although fit may be a factor early on as Randle and Brown adjust to playing in Brooklyn as high-usage players, the Nets are undeniably more talented than they were a season ago and have absolutely no incentive to lose this time around. Of course, development should still be a priority, which should prevent the Nets from going into full win-now mode, but that shouldn\u2019t change this team from being one of the most improved in the entire league in 2027.<\/p>\n
