Nets Begin Rebuild After Mikal Bridges Trade

The Brooklyn Nets are entering a rebuilding phase after trading Mikal Bridges and finishing the previous season with a disappointing 32-50 record. Key players to watch include Cam Thomas, Nic Claxton, and Cameron Johnson, while Ben Simmons's health remains a concern for his potential return to form. The Utah Jazz are also in a rebuilding stage, having missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons and struggling to secure a top lottery pick despite flashes of promise from players like Lauri Markkanen. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns are focusing on maximizing their roster around superstars Devin Booker and Kevin Durant while preparing for the upcoming season. The Philadelphia 76ers made significant offseason moves, adding Paul George to support Joel Embiid, who remains critical to their success despite injury concerns last season.
