The Six-Game Losing Nets may continue to lose, which is not alarmist, but the playoff qualification should still be quite stable, after all, Durant will make a strong comeback sooner or later. But look at the Nets' main lineup, it doesn't look like a luxury division at all, the star players who are injured and miss the game for special reasons are well known, and Harden has created an embarrassing scoring stats, and it is estimated that the rest of his career will not break the record of less than 4 points. The only good news for the Nets is that they also have a lot of quality chips in hand to trade players, which is the last chance to save the season.
At present, the Nets have successfully secured an $8.9 million injury trade exception, which is very large. If the Big Three lineup is to be retained to impact the championship, the Nets would better find a player who can briefly replace Irving's home position. The candidate has surfaced, with sources suggesting that the Celtics can't wait to send away 28-year-old guard Schroeder.
The top passing master actually has a strong scoring ability, but the three-point shot is more unstable, and the reason why the Celtics want to send him away is because other players can't trade out, and the trade plan provided by the teams to the Celtics is not very satisfactory. Instead, Schroeder's asking price will not be too high, and the Nets can come up with Nash's highly recognized Carter and a second-round pick as a trading chip. Initially, the Celtics didn't show resistance, which means the Nets have a good chance of successfully getting Schroeder.
And Schroeder's ability to attack with the ball is the low-end version of Irving, who even forced James to play without the ball when he played for the Lakers, so at least in terms of ability, there is no doubt. In addition, Schroeder is an extremely confident player, otherwise how could he dare to ask the Lakers for a big contract of $84 million for 4 years? At the moment, Schroeder is only on a mid-level contract of more than $5 million, and it is not bad to have the ball to play. If you have the opportunity to come to the championship-winning favorite Nets, this could be a real turning point in your career.
Many of the Nets' giants have different degrees of problems, Durant and Aldridge, Joe Harris are injured, Irving is out of the game at home, Harden's state is too up and down, Griffin has been useless, and the All-Star interior Millsap is waiting to leave the team. There's also Nash's question, that if Carter leaves, he's not too far from the end of class. So, Schroeder had a chance to highlight the Nets. As for whether he can assist Harden to win the championship for the first time, it is not easy to say, but at least Harden will no longer complain that the best players do not play, and Schroeder can definitely replace Irving for a short time. For the Nets, a big deal is not needed, if you get Schroeder, wait for other main players to recover, the Nets are still the biggest favorite to win the championship.
