For the Nets, the Big Three lineup also couldn't bring a championship, which was a complete team failure. Of course, the season is not over, and the probability of getting Simmons' Nets to finally counterattack still exists, but like the Lakers, there is no hope at present. It is currently more difficult to win the championship by hugging the group, so now Harden has really joined the 76ers, joining forces with Embiid, but I am afraid that it will drag down the smooth operation of the 76ers, and whether they can win the championship is still a huge question mark. Harden's departure, objectively speaking, the Nets are not Harden's team at all, and the reason for creating the longest losing streak is, in the final analysis, the lack of core Durant.
Durant is 34 years old, still scrappy, healthy he is still the closest to James in the league, don't look at him has won the championship, but as long as there is a chance, he is still willing to fight for this goal. Since Harden is not optimistic about staying with the Nets to win the championship, so he took the initiative to trade to the 76ers, Irving will not change anything in the short term, and the Nets seem to be a place that is not suitable for staying here for a long time. If Durant is a player who can leave the team for the championship, I believe there should be no controversy.
The reason why he left the Warriors was because he was accused by the fans of holding his thighs, and before he joined the Warriors, they were already champions, and only then did they turn to the Nets to prove their choice. Now that the Nets have re-formed the championship-winning lineup, Simmons and Curry Jr. will directly become the nets' starters, plus two giants Irving and Durant, and All-Star interior Aldridge, the hope of winning the championship still exists. But what if it fails again? The Nets may also not seem convinced that the combination of Durant and Irving will bring a championship, and Durant is likely to choose to trade away from the team.
Some self-media published an article before the trading deadline, entitled "The Finale of the Alliance!" If the Nets can't win the championship this year, Durant may consider joining forces with Leonard this summer," the author mentioned the possibility of Durant and Leonard joining forces, more in the hope that the two of them can join forces. This season's Clippers are not easy, Leonard and George are basically reimbursed for the season, although in exchange for Powell, Covington and other top tough players, but it is still very far from the championship. Once Durant loses the title again this season, it is really not ruled out that Durant and Leonardo have joined forces to form an unprecedented frontal big three.
The Clippers also have a championship heart that matches Durant's needs, and Leonard, who had recruited Durant to work with, happened just before Durant left the Warriors. There's reason to believe that Durant could be recruited by Leonard again, but the price the Nets will pay for the Clippers must be very large, and it's really hard to predict now. It can only be said that from the perspective of paper strength, the combination of Durant and Leonard can basically lock in the championship, which is no suspense.
