Kevin Durant Deal Seems to Have Worked Out Well for Brooklyn Nets
Kevin Durant Deal Seems to Have Worked Out Well for Brooklyn Nets. With the forward (Kevin Durant) turning 35 before the start of the 2023-24 season, this return for Durant only stands to improve, let us see the details.
What a player he is (Kevin Durant) and with him, what a team Brooklyn Nets can be. The Brooklyn Nets’ 2017–18 NBA season has been unusual, to say the least.
The Nets are down 3-0 to the 76ers, but Brooklyn is getting solid play from the players acquired in exchange for Kevin Durant.
For a playoff team, Mikal Bridges has all the makings of a No. 1 (or at least a No. 2 offensive option), as he shot 42.1 percent from outside and averaged 25.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists.
Cam Johnson, another new addition from the Suns, has scored 21.0 points in three games while making 50.0 percent of his three-point attempts.
With the veteran (Durant) forward turning 35 before the start of the 2023-24 season, this return for Durant only stands to improve, what with Phoenix’s first-round pick this summer, as well as picks in 2025, 2027, and 29 and a swap of first-round picks in 2028, not to mention multiple second-round picks.
The season will end in the first round, but it’s encouraging to see the young core play together in the postseason.
Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets are a professional basketball team representing the borough of Brooklyn in New York City.
The Nets are a basketball team from New Jersey that represents the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Barclays Centre is the site of all home games for the team. The New York Knicks are the other New York-based NBA franchise. The team has been around since 1967, when it was founded as a charter franchise of the ABA, the NBA’s main competitor.
After their first season as the New Jersey Americans, the team moved to Long Island, New York, in 1968, and adopted the current moniker, the New York Nets.
The Nets won the ABA title twice during this time, in 1974 and 1976. The Nets and three other ABA clubs (the San Antonio Spurs, the Indiana Pacers, and the Denver Nuggets) were integrated into the NBA in 1976 as part of the ABA-NBA merger and are still active members of the NBA today.
