Nets express interest in Cason Wallace and Trey Murphy III

The Brooklyn Nets are pursuing Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace and New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III, according to reports. Following a disappointing 2025-26 season that saw them finish with a 20-62 record, the Nets hold the No. 6 overall pick in the upcoming 2026 NBA Draft. They are likely looking to use their substantial cap space this summer for trades rather than free-agent signings. Acquiring Wallace might be feasible given Oklahoma City's current financial constraints. Meanwhile, adding Murphy or Boston's Jaylen Brown would require significant offers. Brooklyn could have up to $40 million in cap space depending on other transactions.
