Brooklyn has already done franchise-shaking business and may yet have more major moves up their sleeves.

With free agency officially tipping off at 6 p.m. Sunday, the Nets are unlikely to make any huge signings.Trading with Houston to get control of the Rockets’ 2025 and ’26 first-round picks after shipping Mikal Bridges to the rival Knicks for essentially six first-round picks signaled a rebuild.The Nets are over the salary cap, unlike next summer when they could have about $80 million to spend, depending on moves.

Johnson has drawn interest from the Cavaliers, Kings and Lakers, and his age , height and 3-point shooting make him valuable.Juan Soto scratched from Yankees lineup in injury worry“I’d be more inclined to look for offers for him because he’s got the player option,” ex-Nets assistant GM Bobby Marks, now with ESPN, told The Post. “The likelihood is that he becomes a free agent, then you lose him for nothing.

Another question that will need answering is what to do with Cam Thomas, whom they have until Oct. 21 to extend. “It’s going to be interesting, because he’s going to be a good player on a bad team,” Marks said. “He’s experienced losing certainly last year, but basically he’s in a different role. He’s kind of on center stage right now.”GM Sean Marks did well to find Thomas at 27th in the first round, but since he was taken so low, his free-agent hold is $12.1 million.
