The Nets currently have $176.1 million of cap allocations on the roster right now, meaning that they have $1.9 million worth of space under the first apron. However, due to the sign-and-trade that brought Shake Milton to Brooklyn in the Mikal Bridges trade with the New York Knicks this past offseason, Brooklyn is hard-capped at the first apron.

De'Aaron Fox is the new name on the market after sending signals he doesn't want to commit long-term to the Kings. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler remains suspended as the Heat decide his future.

NBA trade deadline is approaching fast, and the Brooklyn Nets could become active over the next week. Yet, the Nets haven’t been mentioned in any of the biggest NBA trade rumors, like the ones involving Jimmy Butler and/or De’Aaron Fox.
