Verdict

The Nets have plenty of guys on their roster that they can trade and replace. But out of all the players on the team, these three players would be the easiest to move and/or the easiest to replace.

The Nets will have some bigger decisions to make if they receive an offer for Brook Lopez or Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. With Lopez being the franchise cornerstone, he is not expendable at all. Hollis-Jefferson is still a young defensive prospect and could make an impact for whatever team he plays for.

The Nets would not want to give up either of these players for too little in return. Right now, Marks is being smart and getting a feel for what the market is for the players on his team. He understands there is no point in rushing a deal this season because the Nets are not in contention.
