The 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued, with the Nets becoming the only team to be swept 4-0 by their opponents, regrettably stopping the first round of the playoffs. Now that the Nets have bid farewell to the playoff stage, durant and Irving's duo naturally suffers from many doubts. Looking at the hilarious US media, this time with Durant, it is recommended that the Nets and the Green Army make a 1-for-4 transaction.
The US media that proposed the deal this time is "Fadeaway World", this deal plan is very interesting, suggesting that the Nets trade Durant, and then build a championship lineup around Irving. So what chips should the Green Army come up with? Judging from the transaction plan, the US media suggested that the Green Army provide Smart + Jaylen Brown + 2 draft picks, and use these 4 chips to exchange Durant with the Nets. In short, the US media is not optimistic about the duo of Durant and Irving, so it began to think of breaking them apart.
Is trading Durant OK? This trade plan is indeed too bold, after all, Durant and Irving are the main theme of the Nets, if Durant is traded out of the team, then can Irving carry the Nets and continue to move forward? This is also an issue for the Nets to consider. After all, Irving often makes some strange things, if Durant leaves the team, Irving naturally becomes the core of the team, but Irving's untamed personality seems to be unfit to be the leader of the team.
This season, Durant's performance is actually not bad, averaging 29.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game in the regular season, shooting 51.8% from the field and 38.3% from three-point range. However, in the playoffs, Durant's data declined, and in the 4-game series with the Celtics, Durant averaged 26.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, and his shooting percentage fell to 38.6%. In fact, when he was 0-2 behind in the big score, Durant's mentality had changed, and he could not escape the fact that he was swept.
Now, the US media suggested that the Nets Green Army 1 for 4, to be honest, this transaction plan is not reasonable. Isn't that? The Green Army fans have begun to grumble after seeing it, and the comment area is full of voices of opposition. One Green Army fan was even more critical of Durant, bluntly saying that for Boston (Celtics), Durant was not worth the price at all. More fans directly said that this deal will set the Green Army back 10 years, why trade a 33-year-old player with a history of injuries?
I have to say that the years are really unforgiving, and the top scorers like Durant are also difficult to escape the erosion of the years. After all, Durant is now 33 years old, and durant has only played 90 regular season games in the last three seasons. In the 19-20 season, Durant was reimbursed for the season. In the 20-21 season, Durant played in 35 games. In the 21-22 season (this season), Durant played 55 games. It seems that the Green Army fans rejected this deal, which is indeed understandable!
