The Brooklyn Nets are heading into a 2024-25 season in which the franchise is trying to keep its options open in terms of the salary cap so that they can afford to pay free-agents. In recent memory, Brooklyn has been a franchise that has tried to spend the money necessary to field a winner, but that historically has not been the case.
In a research piece by the staff at HoopsHype, the outlet put together a ranking of all 30 NBA teams in terms of how each franchise spent money on star-level players over the past two decades. On this list, Brooklyn ranked 24th and that’s accounting for the recent superstar era in which the Nets were paying a lot of money to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
For the purposes of this exercise, the money that is being counted for the rankings is based on players that have been selected to All-NBA teams, such as Durant and Irving, and players who were not selected to those teams, otherwise classified as “non-star” players.
Per HoopsHype, the Nets have spent $123,531,250 million on players that have made All-NBA teams in the past 20 years and that figure accounts for 5.03% of the total share of salaries spent within that time period. For context, Brooklyn has spent $2,333,114,666 billion on non-stars, ranking third amongst all 30 teams, showing that the team has been willing to shell out money for the non-stars as well.
