The Nets officially remade their team in a wild week earlier this month, first dealing Kyrie Irving and then Durant on Feb. 9. Their championship window slammed shut despite getting back four starters and a trove of draft picks.
They never played together again, Harden forcing a trade the next month with Irving and Durant doing the same a year later. The Nets are fifth in the East, with a cushion built from before the trade. They lead the Knicks by two games, seventh-place Miami by 2 ½. The goals have changed, with the second half of the season no longer about vying for a title but the start of building a new team. Perhaps one the fans can embrace more. Two weeks ago, Durant was the obvious answer to this question.
When the Nets got hit with Harden’s trade request, they pivoted and made Simmons the centerpiece of the return package from Philadelphia. But after not playing last season, he’s struggled this season, averaging 6.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists on .439 percent free-throw shooting, all career-lows.
“I’m not going to sugarcoat it. It’s always difficult when you’re trading a player of that stature and that ilk; very difficult,” GM Sean Marks said.
