Why The Brooklyn Nets Do The Deal 

There is no doubt that this is a loss for the Nets. I don’t think there’s any way around it. 

It is also impossible for them to win a deal with Irving as well. There is no team that is going to be able to offer Irving’s talent level a fair price if we’re just focusing on the talent level. Throughout the years, he has proven to be too unreliable to forfeit those type of assets for a team to do so. 

In light of all of that, I can say that this is…something. The Nets are getting a pair of good players back here. Wood provides an offensive punch, while Finney-Smith is a starting caliber 3-and-D wing. 

Is it enough to keep Durant in Brooklyn for the foreseeable future? Who knows. As a result, the Nets will also get a first-round pick in this deal as well.

They could hold out for a better deal, but they might be holding out a long time. As long as one moment does not change everything once again, that is.
