Nets may target Rockets' Tari Eason in free agency

The Brooklyn Nets are exploring potential moves this summer, specifically considering a bid for Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason during free agency. After finishing the 2025-26 season with a 20-62 record, the Nets are expected to have significant cap space, potentially around $48 million. Eason, coming off a season where he averaged 10.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game, could be a valuable addition. The Rockets face a decision on whether to offer him a substantial contract or risk losing him as a restricted free agent. The Nets, with their 2027 first-round pick owed to Houston, could complicate the Rockets' decision if they pursue Eason aggressively.
