So the Nets are probably heading to select Mara and he Wolves are creating space to retain Dosunmu and do what?

Interesting move. Curious if JR will be rerouted elsewhere. Also, this can't be just about Ayo. This team needs a PG so bad.

Sure, Randle had less impact than in regular season, but did they look also at the dropping Net rating diff of Edwards in the Playoffs (playing injured)?
-14.3pts between with/without Edwards (worst of the team)
- Dosunmu was the second worse at -12.2 and just got extended for $112M
- Randle was the third worse with -8.4pts

They mainly lost because DiVincenzo was not available, and Edwards played through and negative impact by doing so.

What are the Nets doing?

they traded Claxton for Randle and a pick swap from 33 to 28.

why?
