What the Brooklyn Nets can do this offseason
- ›~$1.7M in cap space (after renouncing/holding its own free agents).
- ›Can add an outside free agent up to $0.1M via the Room MLE.
- ›Operated under the cap this July (used its Room MLE), so the non-taxpayer MLE and bi-annual exception are dead for the season (Art. VII §6(n)).
- ›Draft capital: 20 extra incoming picks, owes 2.

Grades are minutes-weighted from the projected rotation; the chips are the fit read — how much each strength or gap is worth in net rating, on top of raw talent. Dimensions come from each player’s real 2025-26 box profile. Injuries are real reported facts, factored into projected minutes.

Projected minutes from the position-aware rotation model: five on-court spots share a fixed 240-minute-a-night budget, best players first, with versatile players (their secondary spot shown on hover) sliding to a second position. ST = projected starter. Not a coach’s actual rotation.
