The fact that the Brooklyn Nets are the only NBA franchise without a pick in the 2024 NBA Nets Need to “Figure Out How” to Enter the Draft Draft could provide problems for a team that did not qualify for the playoffs the previous year.
Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report thinks the Nets should be inventive and “find a way” to enter the draft if at all possible because of this.
“The only NBA team without a first- or second-round pick, the Brooklyn Nets should explore ways to get back into the 2024 draft,” argues Swartz. “This is a team that can’t even use the draft to improve on its own bad performance after trading for James Harden, as the Houston Rockets will now use their pick to choose No. 3 overall with its picks.
The Rockets own the exchange rights for 2025 and 2027, and the Nets still owe Houston an unprotected first-round pick in 2026. Considering that it won’t have first-round picks until 2028, Brooklyn ought to investigate the price of reentering the draft right away.”
