Nets trading Dennis Schroder about ‘long-term build’ in clear tanking nod
NY Post
Brooklyn’s trading Dennis Schroder was strictly business.
And the business is tanking.
The Nets moved a 31-year-old set to hit free agency for second-round draft picks, but the endgame was ensuring themselves a better first-rounder.
A lottery one.
“We’re going to miss Dennis the person, on and off the court. What he did for us in the locker room, his leadership, he exemplifies the Brooklyn grit we talk about,” GM Sean Marks said. “But these are decisions you have to make when your ultimate goal is long-term, sustainable success. We’re weighing a lot of factors … looking at the big picture, this is what’s best for our organization long term.
“Also factoring in that Dennis is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year. So who knows what his market is and where he’s going to end up? But this was an opportunity for us to acquire draft assets … that helps us in our long-term build.”
