Why The Brooklyn Nets Do The Deal
Meanwhile, the Nets are in a bit of a bind.
They could get more draft capital for Durant in another trade. On the other hand, they probably wouldn’t get the same win-now pieces. That’s key for this organization.
After all, they owe their first-round picks to the Houston Rockets through to 2027. The Nets can’t bottom out – luckily, they don’t have to with this deal.
Desmond Bane would be joining the Nets as a young star. Clarke and Jones are both major contributors already as well.

Even if he is the best player who’s potentially available in the NBA.
