The Nets are not just, by far, the better team in New York basketball, but also, thanks to a surprising run of wins against strong teams, a playoff contender.

How Nets went from worst trade ever to Kings of New York basketball, by Anthony Puccio, notes:
[Owner Mikhail] Prokhorov's five-year plan had suddenly turned into one of the biggest failures in NBA history and they had to dig their way out.Since, then, strong hires (coach Kenny Atkinson), trades (D'Angelo Russell), draft choices (Caris LeVert), and more.
It's February of 2016. Lionel Hollins and Billy King had officially been axed, and it was time for Dmitry Razumov to introduce new GM Sean Marks to the media. Razumov explains how he was "proud" of the hiring and later echoes something the Nets probably should have done from the start:
"We didn't rush."
In other words, they didn't hire the big name. They hired the right guy.

Strong piece on rebuild of Brooklyn Nets...— Norman Oder (@AYReport) January 18, 2019
tho a bit of a stretch to call those first "Brooo-klynnn" chants in Atlantic City 2012 "organic"
since @JakeAppleman in Brooklyn Bounce book said they were "mostly generated by Nets employees" https://t.co/VUKTL758RY pic.twitter.com/0fEEfl7Jr4
