The Brooklyn Nets are making strategic moves in the 2025 NBA offseason, focusing on roster improvement for the upcoming 2025-26 season. They've already made headlines by acquiring Michael Porter Jr. from the Denver Nuggets and securing multiple draft picks. However, a significant trade involving Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns to the Houston Rockets has drawn attention, potentially involving an NBA-record seven teams.

NBA insider Jake Fischer noted that the Nets were strategically included in the Durant deal, trading the No. 36 pick to the Suns for two second-round picks from Houston. Despite their efforts to improve through cap space deals, the Nets are not seeking a player of Durant's caliber, given their current position away from championship contention. Expect the Nets to complete their free-agency moves soon, especially regarding restricted free agent Cam Thomas.
