We have to admit that with the trading deadline and the closure of the trading door, the trading market, which was once white-hot this season, has finally come to an end!
In the case that all teams have more or less completed the reinforcement and reinforcement operations, the trade between the Nets and the 76ers about Harden, which has been closely watched, can be described as an uproar among fans and the media.
After all, as one of the league's top three superstars, the combination of Irving + Durant + Harden has always been considered a major advantage for the Nets to compete for the championship.
However, with Harden's departure, considering Irving's special circumstances, as well as Durant's injury, coupled with the team's current record and ranking, it has to be said that this turbulent Nets, the next playoff prospects and situation, are also beginning to be full of more and more variables and uncertainties!
As for what the Nets will do next in the free market, the introduction and reinforcement of the strength of the lineup has once again attracted the attention of the outside world.
Fortunately, in just one night, the Nets sent out two major news, successfully completed a sign and a cut, and improved the depth and strength of the lineup!
According to the US media The Athletic reporter Shams Charania, free agent Goran Dragic has agreed to sign a contract with the Brooklyn Nets to join the Nets until the end of the season, assisting Irving + Durant.
According to ESPN's follow-up report, the Nets will cut guard Javin Carter to free up a roster for signing Dragic!
Despite playing for the Raptors this season, Dragic has only played five games for the Raptors and was quickly bought out into the free market after being traded to the Spurs.
But rationally speaking, as a 35-year-old All-Star guard, Dragic, who has both experience and strength, can be said to have attracted the attention of many playoff teams including the Lakers, Warriors, Bucks and Bulls!
After all, throughout his career so far, Dragic has averaged 13.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1 steal per game, as well as a 36.4% three-point shooting rate, we really have it for all to see.
Coupled with Dragic's rich playoff experience and plug-and-play ready-to-play combat power, this will obviously be a very good supplement for the Nets who are currently in the process of employment!
For the Nets, although the team already has three major defenders, Irving + Seth Curry + Mills, and the young cameron Thomas has risen strongly.
But given Irving's inability to play at home for the team, the arrival of Tigers General Dragic is clearly not to be underestimated for the rotation of the Nets' guard line, as well as the role and influence of the team's way of playing!
More importantly, Nets head coach Nash, who had the experience of partnering with Dragic during the Suns, and the tacit understanding and familiarity of the two working together again will also be a good advantage for the Nets.
In fact, according to previous reports, after Dragic reached a contract buyout with the Spurs and became a free agent, Nash, the head coach of the Nets, has made great efforts in recruiting Dragic.
Now the combination of mentors and friends can meet again with the Nets, which has obviously become a major attraction for the Nets in the next schedule.
As for whether this Nets, which has a poor record and ranking after signing Dragic, can change and get back on track, we seem to have to wait and see!
Finally, as a fan, are you optimistic that Dragic will join the Nets to support KD? Or, under head coach Nash, what kind of performance do you think Dragic can play? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section!
