The Brooklyn Nets have plenty of decisions to make for next season, and they may need to weigh another reunion with their former guard. With Julius Randle, Mikel Brown Jr. and others joining an intriguing young Brooklyn squad, the Nets will be looking to make their way back to the postseason for the first time since 2023. Still, one season in that span that remains well-liked among Nets fans is 2019, when D’Angelo Russell led Brooklyn back to the playoffs in his lone All-Star season. Going into his 12th NBA season, Russell and the Nets could help each other. Meanwhile, Russell is on the verge of being out of the league, and a successful rehabilitation as a veteran leader on a solid Nets squad could legitimately save his career.
