So that was it. Veteran perspective. It was not said in the article because they are praising what he contributed during his Nets career.
But as far as I can remember he was not really that effective anymore so being a veteran in one team using his experience would best match what is needed from him.
As of the other players, I'd agree they are the ones who are underrated that will be a game changer.

That's probably what will happen because the Nets are asking too much for the trade, so they could just keep the two but not sure they'll be the same Kyrie and KD we saw last season, hopefully there are some improvement.

I don't expect a major changes from Westbrook, I think he will be the same WB we saw last season.

If I'm Pat Riley, I'd rather keep the current core players of the team and forget about Durant. Mitchell? Many are saying that he will go to the Knicks right? I don't see him fit to Miami as well and I'm thinking if he will go there, which players will the Heat give to the Jazz just to get him or maybe a trade between three teams is possible but I don't see him fit well to the Miami.

As for Durant going to Miami, I'd rather keep Butler and Bam because for sure if they will get Durant, one of them will be traded to the Nets. Butler can carry the team better than Durant and we've seen it multiple times already in the Bubble and even last playoffs. TBH, there is a higher chance that Durant will be staying with the Nets unless the Nets because only a few teams only want KD in their team right now that is why he is still in the market until now after few weeks of finding a team for him to be traded with.

Anyone seen ESPYS 2022 hosted by Steph Curry?

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving haven't left the team yet but they are likely to do so this summer. I don't know if Nets really need a big change in their roster now. However they weren't successful in the previous season too. Irving missed many games though but they still struggled when he was back. Both of these players aren't eager to stay longer according to some news sources. Honestly I would like to watch Kevin Durant at Suns or Heat. I think the same for Irving at Lakers beside Lebron.

There's no way they're staying with the Nets as they already showed lack of interest to continue playing with that team. The Nets might be in a huge discussions now on how they can rebuild their team coz this is gonna be a very rare opportunity to demand all they can because they have 2 of the most high valued player in the league. It's gonna be a huge regret if they take the wrong trade.
I am already expecting before the season starts, Kyrie and Durant will both be out of the Nets.

The Knicks have the best package for him but Danny ainge is trying to fleece them.  The Knicks have like 12 firs round picks in the next 7 or so years.  Ainge wants like 6 or 7 first round picks PLUS our youth in grimes, iq and obi.  I hope new york hung up on him immediately.  As a knick fan I'd love donovan but we'd have an incredibly small backcourt in mitchell and brunson, and losing all that capital, nah.  I'd run the squad as is and keep building.  Ainge is off his rocker.

wow, that is just way too much. Are they overestimating the value of Donovan Mitchell? Knicks will be trading away their future if they give in to that.


They have good results, but it is just not enough though. They need one more star to push them into a Championship or at least to the finals. The East is a tough competition right now with Celtics stars at their peak and Bucks still a force to reckon. But you are right, it just does not feel right to throw away your built chemistry and role players for Durant. And Nets will not let go of Durant without getting the value they want.

Westbrook and CP3 are also in the list of valuable players along with Harden who don't have a ring until now, I think these 3 mentioned names are the remaining players in their generation who haven't got a ring that is still playing up to present and the rest had already also retire without it. Now, I'm kind of curious which of these 3 has the most chances to win its first ring before they retire? Mine is CP3.

Those 3 names mentioned above do belong to a heavy teams in the league, the competition has gotten tight and I'm looking forward that at least one of them can grab a title.

Practically speaking, I'd also want them to pick Durant over Mitchell on the Miami because that will definitely make the Heat a thick fire this coming season that will keep burning, well hopefully there will be no major injury in their line-up. But getting Durant is quite expensive because that could mean trading Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro together. Honestly, I'd choose to trade Lowry instead of Bam Adebayo because Lowry is not that productive anymore.
