This season, the Nets paid about $100 million in high luxury taxes, the second highest in NBA history; the Nets spent money to build a big team, but the team's problems continued, Durant missed 27 games due to knee injuries, with an annual salary of $40.92 million; Irving missed 53 games due to refusal to vaccinate, with an annual salary of $34.91 million; Harden applied to leave the team in the middle of the season, and finally the Nets exchanged Ben Simmons, who missed the entire season.
The Nets' championship season ended in failure, and this year's playoffs were swept out by the Celtics 0-4 in the first round of the playoffs, which drew a humiliating end to this rollercoaster-like season, and the Nets' poor performance also directly led to the team's financial losses, with a loss of 50 million to 100 million US dollars.
In this year's playoffs, Durant averaged 26.3 points, 6.3 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game, shooting 38.6% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range, and The Grim Reaper played a career-bad playoff; especially in the first three games of the series, Durant had shot 0-of-10 in the second half and 0 shots in the final 11 minutes of the final quarter.
Irving averaged 21.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, and was also underperformed by Ramadan fasting, G1 exploded for 39 points but was killed by Tatum due to fatal defensive errors in life and death moments.
