With $50 million to $70 million in cap space possible, which can translate to two max deals, Brooklyn will have to show signs of winning and improvement. If they show these signs in 2018-19, it will give Brooklyn more leverage in the 2019 free agent market.
With a lot riding on the 2018-19 season, many players will have to step up and have career years. A couple of Nets need a breakout seasons, not just for Brooklyn to win but to secure their Net futures.
With all of this said, can a Brooklyn Net win an NBA award in 2018-19? Spencer Dinwiddie came close in the Most Improved Player race, but could not beat out Victor Oladipo of the Indiana Pacers.
The Nets haven’t had a major award winner since Derrick Coleman was named Rookie of the Year in 1990-91, so it could be said Brooklyn is due.
