Throughout the offseason, the Nets were in a chaos that could disintegrate at any time. Although they forcibly kept their core lineup, the ability shown by the Nets on the court before the start of the new season seems to be a lot worse than a championship team.

in the past few seasons, it is perfect for them to describe their situation as turbulent. The Nets' paper strength has always been one of the best in the league, but the results they have achieved are very average. Even in the previous season, they had to pass the playoffs to win a playoff spot and were swept by Celtics in the first round. Throughout the offseason, the Nets were in a chaos that could disintegrate at any time. Although they forcibly kept their core lineup, the ability shown by the Nets on the court before the start of the new season seems to be a lot worse than a championship team. The Nets signed one person, Nash was booed by fans, Simmons was embarrassed by the heavy responsibility, and if you don’t get any results, Boss Cai should change his mind.

Due to the chaos in the team, the Nets triggered a round of departures in the offseason. Many elites in the coaching staff and management were poached by other teams, and some even chose to leave the team because of the chaos in the team. The Nets need to rebuild their management. Earlier, according to a report by NBA reporter Stein, sources revealed that the Nets had signed Jeff Ball, who had previously served as general manager of Hornets and Pistons . Now, after Ball came to the Nets, he held a position as scout . In addition to his experience as a general manager of the NBA, Ball has previously served as senior vice president of basketball operations for Suns . He helped James Jones complete the restructuring of the Suns lineup and help them return to the playoffs.

Although they have had a good experience in the Suns, the Nets' signing has still triggered a new round of complaints. Looking at the achievements of the Hornets and Pistons over the years, their vision for both operation and drafts is very bad. Boss Cai also asked Ball to be their scout, and it was understandable that such a choice caused dissatisfaction among fans. In addition to some management operations, the Nets previously held an outdoor open training, and some scenes in this training were also quite embarrassing. Previously, the Nets conducted an open training for fans at Brooklyn Bridge Park, and they provided fans with 8,000 tickets, a record high.

In this public training, other players were nothing. According to the Nets' team reporter Winfield, when the team introduced Nash, there were booing on the spot. Many fans joked that it turned out that Nets fans' dissatisfaction with Nash had spread to every corner. Being booed during the team's training would definitely not feel comfortable. In addition, Simmons also had some embarrassing scenes during training. In this open training of the Nets, a video showed that after Simmons got the ball, he turned around and made a mid-range shot. As a result, the shot was outrageously wrong and made a three-no-touch shot. Durant originally talked and laughed with Irving . After seeing this shot, Durant couldn't even laugh.

It can be said that in the new season, the Nets' problems are still quite big. Although they retained the core lineup, their coaching staff is a big trouble. In addition to having a lot of tactics, Nash has not mastered the most basic things as a coach. For example, which players can be better matched together, how to play a player's strengths and hide his weaknesses. How to help role players find positioning and relieve stress from core players. Apart from these, Nash couldn't even do a good job of shouting for a pause or controlling the pace of the game, let alone having the right to speak in the locker room. The two core players Irving and Durant who fans know are already dissatisfied with Nash.

To be honest, Boss Cai’s tough attitude in this offseason is worthy of recognition. Just like the Twitter content he forwarded, no player can surpass the team culture.After Durant applied for a deal, there was no big problem with Boss Cai's decision to stand in the management and coaching staff, but then again, Nash is indeed not a playoff coach, and his ability has been confirmed. In previous interviews, Durant had already stated that it is abnormal for the Nets to fall all the way without him. After Durant was injured, Nash made the Nets fall from second in the East to tenth in the East, and his coaching has great problems.

Nowadays, Boss Cai is also under a lot of pressure. The Nets' team salary ranks among the top in the league, but their preseason still looks like a set of loose sand. With the premise that the head coach does not change, it is hard to imagine that the Nets will suddenly explode after entering the regular season and play team basketball. Durant played for 26 minutes in the second game of the preseason. Nash's dependence on Durant was fully demonstrated in the first game of the preseason. This is actually not a good sign. For a 34-year-old player who has suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, Nash's use of Durant is obviously excessive. Once the Nets' record in the new season is average, will Durant's mentality shake again? This is also a topic worth paying attention to.
