Why The Brooklyn Nets Do The Deal

The Brooklyn Nets are losing Kevin Durant in this deal, so they almost lose it by default.

That’s the reality when a player like Durant requests a trade. The Brooklyn Nets were never going to get comparable value for him. The only players on his level are unmoveable. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic or Nikola Jokic were never walking through that door.

Er go, the Nets are forced to take a loss here. As far as trades go, this is a minimal one. They’re receiving a young star in Donovan Mitchell, a Defensive Player of the Year candidate in Bridges, and a high-end starter in Myles Turner.

Most significantly, this deal should keep the Brooklyn Nets competitive through 2022-23. In fact, it would be a surprise to see this group miss the postseason.
