The Brooklyn Nets have made a strategic move ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft by acquiring forward Terance Mann and the 22nd overall pick in a three-team trade with the Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics. This trade positions the Nets to further enhance their roster as they prepare for the upcoming draft.

In the deal, the Hawks received Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick, while the Celtics added Georges Niang alongside another second-round pick. With Mann's contract absorbing 47 million over three years, the Nets are leveraging their significant cap space effectively. Mann, who averaged 7.7 points and shot nearly 50% from the field last season, can either be a valuable contributor or a piece in further trades. The Nets now hold six picks in the 2025 NBA Draft, indicating their proactive approach to rebuilding.
