After the Nets were eliminated by the Celtics, they have no chance of the next round of the game, and they have really entered the offseason. The biggest question for Nets management now is what will happen to the team in the offseason? After all, the Nets have experienced a very disappointing season this season, and the operation of the offseason will determine the competitiveness of the Nets next season. Many Nets players will have contracts that expire entirely this offseason. Whether they will be able to stay in the team to renew their contract is still unknown.
One player on one of those expiring contracts is outstanding, and he can average 14+5 per game in the playoffs. In the playoffs, he was completely worthy, and this player was Brown. Brown's contract will expire completely this summer, and if nothing else, he should get a big contract, and some reporters expect Brown to get an offer for an annual salary of about 12 million.
Brown's help to the Nets this year is still very large, and since Simmons can't come back, Brown has taken on a big role on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, he has some opportunities because the opponent's defense of Irving and Durant is very tight. Brown did not waste these opportunities, brown has not been good at shooting three-pointers this season, his three-point shooting rate has reached 43%, which is indeed surprising to many fans, which proves that Brown's ability to seize opportunities is still very strong.
Brown's type of player is still very popular in today's league. First of all, he is very mobile and has very good scoring skills under the basket. Although he is not tall, he can keep an eye on some forward players, and he can be a puzzle for a championship-winning team. It is not known whether the Nets will give Brown an offer in the offseason, and judging by his playoff performance, the Nets have no reason not to choose to negotiate with him. Even if the Nets don't keep Brown in the end, he won't worry about home. Go to any team and he can play his part.
The Nets have a tough task for them this offseason. The team now has too many players who can't defend at the personnel level, and if the Nets want to stay competitive next season, they need to weed out a subset of players who can't defend. After all, some players are indeed very strong in attack, but the defensive end is indeed very weak, and the management must make a good trade-off, which is still very difficult.
