Not long ago, the hottest topic in the player trading market this summer, Durant where to go, had just come to an end, and there were rumors that Durant would leave the Nets next year. Frank Isola, a well-known New York reporter, also thought so in a media program, saying that at this time next year, he does not think Durant will stay with the Nets.
Why do many people think so? Didn’t the two parties just reconcile and express their intention to focus on the future? Judging from the current operations, the Nets are also fully committed to building a championship team for Durant. There are three main factors here, let’s take a look.
The first factor is teammates Owen . As we all know, Irving has a close relationship with Durant. Durant joined the team three years ago and applied to leave the team in the summer because of Irving. The Nets refused to renew Irving's contract in advance. Irving's contract expires next summer, and Irving is likely to join another team. If Irving leaves, will Durant still stay with the Nets?
The second factor is mate Ben Simmons . Putting aside the fact that Simmons has not played for a year and whether his competitive status can return to its peak, his inability to shoot will become the team's weakness in the playoffs. How the Big Three are compatible is a question facing head coach Nash. If the team fails to win the championship due to Simmons pulling his hips, Durant may apply to trade himself again for the sake of the championship.
The third factor is that the Suns can trade Ayton next summer. Ayton re-signed with the Suns this summer, and according to regulations, he will not be traded within a year. This led to the fact that although Durant was interested in the Suns, the Suns were unable to provide suitable chips. After joining the Suns, the lineup of Paul, Booker, and Durant will immediately become the favorite to win the championship.
Durant is already 34 years old, and there is not much time left for him to win the championship. I still hope he can get a championship ring again.
