Making the Case: Brooklyn Nets

Since Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving came to town, the Brooklyn Nets have had championship hopes but have seen nothing but drama on and off the floor.

The Celtics exposed the Brooklyn Nets’ lack of depth and balance in the postseason. It began with both players missing their first season due to injuries. They would return and suffer much time this season due to his vaccination status.

It was thought that this was a trade working very favorably for Brooklyn. When Simmons was acquired, they would return and suffer more in their first postseason together. That has not been the case since Simmons has been unable to get on the floor.

It is hard to believe that he was available for game five but unable to play games three and four. Simmons has underlying issues and concerns so that the front office could cut ties altogether.

Yes, the injury to Joe Harris did not help the case, but there are other ways to make the team a bit well-rounded.

The Kings’ return is from experienced players who do not need the ball in their hands to be successful. They know how to play their role and have done so for years. This is precisely the type of player that would fit nicely next to Durant and Irving.
