On April 27, 2022, Beijing time, the playoffs continued this season, but the Nets were swept out by the Celtics 4-0 in the first round of the game, so they have ended the season early. And in the playoffs, their play is really very limited, especially the two core players Durant and Irving really did not show the status of top stars! What kind of lineup the Nets will be next season, and what kind of state they will enter into the new season is unknown!
Recently, according to Hopshype's famous Michael Scott, Joe Harris is expected to return early next season, and Ben Simmons will also return next season! And sources say the Nets are supportive of Simmons at every turn, unlike when he was in Philadelphia.
And the two players who have disappointed fans the most this season are probably Ben Simmons, who traded mid-season, and Joe Harris, who was injured early in the season! Ben Simmons, who hasn't played a single game for the Nets this season, had news in the playoffs that he was coming back, but suddenly announced before the game that he would not make a comeback, which also disappointed fans and the team!
Joe Harbas played just 14 games for the Nets this season, averaging 11.3 points per game, and then was reimbursed for an ankle injury season! Joe Harris also failed to make a comeback when the Nets were short of staff, which did disappoint fans!
And the most important point is that Simmons is paid $33 million this season and Joe Harbass is paid $17.36 million this season, which is the third and fourth highest salary in the Nets, and these two people have accounted for more than $50 million in salary space for the Nets this season but have contributed little, which is one of the reasons for the Nets' poor performance this season!
