They acquired six future picks (two firsts, four seconds) and ended up younger, more athletic, with a higher payroll and about $20 million in dead money this season. The strategy centers on developing talent and using cap space to pursue a generational 2026 draft pick rather than chasing immediate wins, with the aim of landing a top prospect in the lottery.【Sources summarize Nets trades and waivers as part of a long-term rebuild plan】

Early data from Neutrolis suggests that a DNA-chopping enzyme that breaks up neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) could offer a new approach to treating autoimmune diseases by targeting a unique immune mechanism.
Scientists have discovered that mitochondria, traditionally known for energy production, also play a crucial role in immune defense by sensing bacterial lactate and triggering neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to trap and kill bacteria. Dysfunctional mitochondria may weaken immune responses, as seen in autoimmune diseases like lupus, highlighting their importance in balancing immune activity and infection defense.
