It doesn't need to be overly stated, but scoring is important to win basketball games. Defense may win championships ββ which is a misconstrued saying ββ but offense gets teams to the postseason. Nine of the top 10 teams in the NBA for points per game this past regular season made it to the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets sat at the bottom of the league with 105.9 points per game and boasted the third-worst record in basketball. The next closest team scored 110.6 points per game. It is reasonable to expect the offense to improve through internal development and a top-seven pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, but if the Nets truly want to compete next season, an offseason deal could be pursued. Miami Heat one-time All-Star Tyler Herro might be the offensive sparkplug that they need. Herro will reportedly be available in trade talks this summer, and Brooklyn was named as a potential suitor. He is under contract through the 2026-27 campaign and will make $33 million next season.β¦
