On April 26, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets lost to the Celtics again, losing 0-4.
After the game, espn, a professional media outlet, commented on the Nets, believing that they were second only to the Warriors in the league in terms of annual salary, and it was very undeserved to be swept in the first round. In this regard, they gave a solution.
ESPN believes the team has lost itself since the Nets and the 76ers trade. More than a year ago, they were able to easily beat the Celtics, but today, even though Irving can play every game, Brooklyn still lost 4-0 to the opponent and became the first team to be swept out.
To this end, they give advice:
1: The Nets need Irving, and Irving needs the Nets
Unlike many self-media who use Irving for substitutions at every turn, ESPN has made it clear that it requires the Nets to keep Irving at all costs.
Durant was recruited by Irving to the Nets, not Irving by Durant. Arguably, without Irving, there would be no Nets, the strong eastern powerhouse in the past 2 seasons. While Irving is likely to get a top-salary contract, there's no better player in the market for $50 million.
2: Replace Chuang Shen with Clarkston as the starting center forward for next season
Despite making history out of 10 free throws, Clarkston remains the Nets' hardest-working and most-wanted player on the court. After Drummond joined the Nets, the data is not ugly, but his defense in the playoffs is a burden.
This season, Drummond's average playing time in the third and fourth quarters of the playoffs is only 8.1 minutes. This caused him to deviate from the main position.
3:3 player contract renewal issues
Seth Curry's contract, which is $8.5 million next season, is less than his value and should be extended.
Simmons, who hasn't played a game, is likely to extend his contract in August, especially if he could be heavily fined by the 76ers. However, if Simmons' back problems are not completely resolved by August, he will become a dispensable person for the Nets.
Joe Harris had just finished surgery and, like Simmons, would struggle to get a new contract if he couldn't guarantee his health.
Draft:
The Nets could get a 23rd-place first-round draft contract from the Philadelphia 76ers, and ESPN advised them to choose centers like Kessler, who have a decent arm span, excellent footing, and the ability to turn jump shots and hook shots.
In addition, media analysis, Mills, who performed well in the playoffs, is likely to become a free agent, and his contract with the Nets is a player option. The Australian is likely to reject a $6.2 million one-year contract.
None of Chuang Shen, Brown, nor Griffin made it clear that there was a problem with staying.
