The NBA regular season is in full swing, and the Nets have become the most uncomfortable team, although Durant led the Nets to win over the 76ers, but the team of 8 people are absent, so that Durant averaged more than 40 minutes in three consecutive games, got 34 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, high-intensity playing time, for Durant is a big test, after all, he has suffered a major injury before, if the regular season goes all out, it is inevitable to encounter injury troubles, Harden, Aldridge, Brown and other 9 players are absent due to safety agreements or off-court reasons. There are only 8 players left to play.
According to the NBA labor agreement, when a team is absent more than three people, they can apply for a difficult exception, add a player, the Nets in order to reduce Durant's playing time, immediately made a change, they and the Lakers together applied for the sleepy exception, according to the NBA name news, the Nets first signed the former Suns free agent Galloway on a 10-day contract, and then signed Shaquil Harrison and Ennis on a 10-day contract. Three people have been signed on a 10-day contract, so that the Nets' number of players has once again come to 11 players, which can fully cope with the shortage of personnel on the team. The salary for the 10-day contract is $100,000, which means that the Nets signed three people for $300,000. $300,000 brings a luxury tax of $1.5 million to the Nets, and it can be said that the Nets will spare no expense for Durant.
Galloway is 30 years old, 1.88 meters tall, on the court as a point guard, as a 14-year draft, he has played for the Knicks, Pelicans and other teams, played for the Suns last season, because Paul is in the lineup, Galloway played very little time, representing the Suns in 40 games, averaging 4.8 points per game, and the main reason for the Nets signing is to see his stable possession, and 42.4% three-point shooting rate, which can effectively alleviate the pressure on the Nets guard and share the pressure on Durant's organization.
Shaquil Harrison is 28 years old, 1 meter 93 tall, on the court is a double guard, as a lost draft in the NBA in 18 years, played for the Suns and Bulls, Jazz, Nuggets, was cut by the Jazz in February this year, and then joined the Nuggets, played in 34 games, can average 2.1 points per game, this player has excellent athleticism, has a good offensive and defensive conversion, the Nets signed him mainly to bear the pressure of outside defense.
James Ennis is a relatively familiar player for many fans, 31 years old, 2 meters 01 tall, has played for the Hawks, Heat and Grizzlies. Rockets, 76ers, Pistons, Magic, as one of the best 3D players around the Rockets Harden at that time, Ennis's career is relatively very rich, he is famous for his defense, known to fans for three points, played for the Magic last season, played in 41 games, Averaging 8.4 points, 4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, Ennis can't compare with his peak due to factors such as age and injury, but he has experience, his height and arm span can effectively protect the flanks, and his arrival can reduce the defensive pressure for Durant, playing 10-30 minutes for the Nets without any problems.
Personnel shortage, the Nets crazy hunting, hope that in these three players can find the players they want, continue to impact the championship, and as the team's head coach Nash, his next step is to test new players, adjust the new lineup, the personnel can not affect the overall record of the Nets. Durant talked about the team after the game, he gave a high praise, Durant said: "The Nets are now the most difficult time, all of our players have to stand up and take on more responsibility, I need to do more things, I like to play, I like basketball, winning is a good challenge for me, we are ready for everything to deal with all the next challenges.
