He stayed! Nash himself admitted that Harden, one of the core of the team, wanted to stay. This means that the Nets are unlikely to send Harden away this season, and similarly, Irving will not leave the team, and the Nets have been enduring Irving's attitude of not playing at home, but have not made any trade operations for Irving. Not to mention Durant, who has already renewed his contract and has been the Nets' most indispensable supergiant. In this way, all the big three remain in the team, combined with Nash's personal statement, it also means that Nash will not be fired by the Nets.
The four key players all remained with the Nets, proving that the team did not give up their goal of winning the championship this season, but it does not mean that the Nets will do nothing before the trade deadline. Aldridge didn't return until after the All-Star Game, Clarkston was still greener, Joe Harriski was reimbursed this season, Griffin was dispensable, and Misalp was in a state of being peddled, all of which forced the Nets to find role players as soon as possible to complete the reinforcement.
It is reported that the Nets have found the trailblazer who has recently become the protagonist of the trade this time, and the two sides are discussing a 2-for-1 deal. The Nets will send all-Star interior Millsap and a second-round pick in exchange for McLemore, who has good shooting ability. Obviously, the deal is not too much of a surprise on paper, but the Nets can't bring stronger star players now, not to mention the team's limited salary space. The current Blazers are eager to rebuild, and Lillard can be traded, not to mention McLemore.
The Blazers' attitude is clear, Anfen Simmons is a core player in the rebuild, and Millsap is a negative asset, which will definitely not affect the Blazers' big operations in the offseason. McLemer has averaged 9 points per game this season and 39 percent from three-point range, which is a pretty good statistic as a role player. The Nets need to find the best stand-in for Joe Harris, and McLemore is the most suitable candidate.
One more three-pointer means that the pressure on Durant and Harden on the outside will be reduced. It is worth mentioning that Harden and McLemore were teammates and outside partners on the Rockets, and McLemore's personal best three-point record appeared during the Rockets' time, when he shot 8 three-pointers in a single game. The viability of the deal is very high, and it's the Blazers who are going to make a wedding dress for other teams, before the Clippers, now the Nets. If the Lakers must grab Lillard, the Blazers have really become the biggest output team in the trading market. Initially, the Nets' reinforcement of the outside through McLemore is still conducive to the championship, but it depends on how Nash uses the Big Three.
