The Nets have boldly formed the Big Three led by Durant, Harden and Irving in 20 years, which is known as the strongest offensive combination in history, when Durant was still a king, Harden was also an MVP-level player, to know that the year before coming to the Nets, he could also play a strong data of 34.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, Irving needless to say, offensive kaleidoscope, strength is also in the top 15 in the league.
Such a strong combination made the Nets instantly the focus of attention, but failed to replicate the achievements of the Heat, in just three years, the Big Three went their separate ways, Harden went to the 76ers, Irving went to the Lone Ranger, Durant went to the Suns, but now everyone's team has been eliminated, I have to say that it is very dramatic.
Everyone thought that the Nets would start a long rebuild after trading Durant and Irving, and no one expected that Boss Cai would play the NBA team into 2K and refuse to rebuild, and the Nets had targeted free agent Dillon Williams and Clippers star Leonard in the offseason.
After the Grizzlies were eliminated by the Lakers, between the collapse performance of Dillon Williams playoffs, the US media has exposed that the Grizzlies management clearly refused Dillon's renewal request, then Dillon must test the free market, if the Nets can open a 4-year salary contract of 60 million, I believe that Dillon will most likely sign the Nets, after all, the team that can give a big contract is really limited, Dillon's only thing that can now be used is his own defense, and the Nets' guard line also lacks a defensive player.
The other is Leonard, after the Clippers were eliminated again, Clippers owner Ballmer was also fully aware that there was no way to win the championship by combining Leonard and Paul George, and one of them would inevitably be traded off in the offseason, and the Nets' medical team was already evaluating Leonard's injury problem, and if the assessment was good, it was planned to match Leonard with Simmons, Cameron Johnson, Mills and 2 first-rounders.
If two people can be included, then the Nets' starting lineup next season will become Dinwiddie, Leonard, Dillon Williams, Bridges, Claxton, both offensively and defensively, are very strong, and there are excellent bench players such as Joe Harris and Claxton on the bench, and it is not a problem to impact the season in the East, and even run it out, and it is also a team with the strength to rush to the championship.
