MILWAUKEE — Nets general manager Sean Marks craves nothing more than flexibility — the ability to pivot when needed and pounce when necessary.
Already armed with the most draft capital in the NBA — and the potential to add even more should it trade Cam Johnson — Brooklyn is in position to take a big swing and jump-start a rebuild.
Whether that’s at the trade ᴅᴇᴀᴅline with Sacramento’s De’Aaron Fox or with any other star who becomes available.

“You have to be poised and position yourself to be able to have that opportunity,” Marks told The Post. “We’re going to give ourselves the best chance to do that. Now, on whom and when, that’s TBD. But when we took over [in 2016], it was three or four seasons before we were able to say, ‘Hey, we’ve all of a sudden got a team that’s now able to contend. It’s a playoff team.’
“And next year, you’re attracting a different caliber player … or players. So we know we’ve done it. We did it before. Now to be able to do it in this new CBA and hopefully reach that ultimate goal, we fell short. We didn’t come close. So the goal now is to be able to do it again, build it up and try and have another hit at it.”
Many Nets fans are still scarred by the implosion of the Big Three.
