Although the Nets are also a favorite team for the championship this season, but the team still has certain problems, the current Durant is injured, need to be absent for a while, although Irving ushered in a comeback, but Irving still chooses not to inject, that is to say, Irving can only play away games, Durant's absence during this time, Harden is definitely still the most tired player in the team. The Nets lineup does look good, but the core players have been playing for a long time, and the Nets are not currently the league's number one team.
The trade deadline is also getting closer, and the Nets have some rumors of trades, followed by Rumors of a Clarkston trade. Recently, salary expert Bobby revealed in a podcast show that the Nets may part ways with veterans like Millsap and Griffin in order to regularize the two-way contract players, making room for two-way players Edwards and David Duke (two-way contracts cannot play the playoffs). Judging from the current performance of role players, Griffin can still use it, and Millsap's role is indeed not very obvious.
It is also a good thing that the Nets are expected to adjust the lineup, and now the young people in the team say that it is still very good, among which Sharp, Thomas, Edwards have performed very well recently and have been able to enter the rotation lineup, which is a good thing for the Nets. In terms of trading, rumors are rumors after all, and we need to see the final result. There is also the need to see if you can pick up leaks in the market, just like signing Griffin last season, of course, there are not many such opportunities.
The net's ultimate goal is still the championship, there is no doubt that Durant has maintained the state of MVP this season, Harden can still score and pass, Irving is still in good shape, can not play at home This is a problem, Mills, Aldridge and other role players, this season's performance is still quite OK.
Many Nets fans will question Nash's employment problems, after all, the core players play too long during the regular season, which can easily lead to injuries and may not be conducive to playing in the playoffs. The most important problem for the Nets to solve now is whether Irving can play at home, as long as the Big Three can be on the court at the same time, then many problems will be solved, and the top offense will cover up a lot of deficiencies, after all, it is now the era of small ball, scoring is very important, and it is expected that the Nets can solve the problem.
