The Nets officially issued a formal statement on the 23rd local time: "Tsai Chongxin, Nash , Marks, Durant and Durant's agent have completed the meeting, and Durant has decided to continue to work with him. The team will continue to work together, focus on basketball, build a stable team, and bring championships to Brooklyn." The farce of Durant leaving the team that lasted for nearly two months finally came to an end under the Nets' "delay tactics." In the words of Nets team reporter Brian Lewis, the Nets' efforts to convince Durant didn't just take one year. They planned a long-term cooperation. Charania revealed the real reason why Durant stayed on the team: The price for other teams to get him was too high, and staying with the Nets has a greater chance of winning.
According to statistics, after Durant confirmed to stay on the team, the Nets instantly became the favorite to compete for the championship, second only to the Celtics, Bucks and Warriors, and tied for fourth with the Clippers. Before Durant left the team, the Nets' probability of winning the championship had been ranked outside the 10th place. In addition, according to statistics from relevant ticket purchasing websites, after Durant announced that he would stay with the team, more basketball tickets (season tickets) were sold in a single day than all the tickets sold after the schedule was announced! The New York media bluntly stated that the Nets' lineup is not bad. Durant has been obsessed with leaving the team in the past 50 days to seek better opportunities to compete for the championship. On the one hand, the Nets did not get enough quotation chips that they wanted. On the other hand, Durant himself has some irrational elements, which directly caused the entire free market to stagnate. After Durant decided to stay on the team, he has been unable to find some powerful players in his next club. Now he can negotiate new contracts with potential suitors.
Let’s first take a look at the Nets’ current lineup. According to Nets media reports, the Nets' 20-man training camp roster still has 6 vacancies. The current lineup is as follows, starting: Irving + Ben Simmons + Joha + Durant + Claxton , Substitute: Curry Jr. + Mills + Royce O'Neal + Thomas + Warren. In addition, there are Jewon Carter, Edwards, Duke , and Sumner in the lineup. After Durant applied to leave the team this summer, the Nets did not give up the pace of reinforcement. They traded O'Neal from the Jazz, signed free agent Warren, and completed contract extensions with Clarkston and Mills. Joha will also return to fitness early in the new season. According to Charania's report, Simmons is ready for the training camp in September. Currently, the team only lacks one substitute insider.
After Durant confirmed to stay on the team, Beverley lamented on social platforms: "Everyone can sit down quietly, this is not cool at all. Those players with families have been unemployed because of Durant's mess. It’s really shameful to say it over and over again. Bless me. !" In response to Beverley's complaint, Durant immediately forwarded a reply: "Is it my fault?" This also prompted Beverley to respond: "I'm talking about the current situation, both sides. You shouldn't have brought this up, but you brought it up yourself." Claxton was very happy in the interview: "I'm very excited to know that Durant is back with the team. We can form a very good team. We want to. Bring everyone together and focus on completing the goal." When netizens complained that Durant always liked to get angry and bluntly said that Durant was soft, Durant also responded: "I don't have to explain myself to you, you count. Who are you? "
American media "Hoopshype" also listed the current free Among the remaining free agents in the market, the Nets lack a qualified backup center, and there are many center players on the free market, such as Harrell, Whiteside, Cousins, Tristan Thompson, and others. To be honest, some prices are definitely too high, some may not be able to effectively protect the frame, and there are not many options. New York media had previously revealed that the Nets were interested in signing Howard, but this was delayed indefinitely by Durant's departure from the team.Now that Durant has decided to stay on the team, the Nets should rethink the replacement center as soon as possible. I personally feel that Howard is a good choice. On the one hand, Howard's efficiency is still good and his rim protection efficiency is stable. On the other hand, Howard can drive the young Clark. As Stone grows, Howard deserves a chance.
Looking at the entire farce of Durant leaving the team, in fact, it is not the Nets who are most injured. After the Gobert 1 for 10 big deal, the Nets anchored high prices, from the Celtics to Suns. From Raptors to Heat , including the Grizzlies, Eagles and other teams that will join later, they may be greatly affected by Durant’s quotation. To give the simplest example, Jaylen Brown has always been listed as the main trading bargaining chip by the Celtics. How will it end now? In addition, according to Meji Gabbadero, the best current trade offer for Mitchell is still the Knicks, but teams including the Nets, Lakers and other teams have expressed their interest in Mitchell. interest. From Tsai Chongxin's perspective, he has been working hard and is committed to helping the team win the championship. Durant's final choice to stay with the team was wise. You have to get up where you fell. What's more, the Nets have already given you their heart and soul. Let’s look forward to Durant’s performance next season.
