The NBA regular season continues, as one of the most concerned teams in the league, the Nets are always concerned by many fans and the media, and there are often news about them off the court, and some news about the Nets after the Nets suffered 3 consecutive losses has also been discussed by the outside world. In particular, the Nets were once again exposed to be discussing multi-person trades, the return date of the three people was undecided, and Durant was elected captain of the East.
So far this season, the Nets have faced a variety of problems, which has become an inevitable problem every time the Nets are mentioned, in fact, the most critical is the injury and Irving problem, which is directly just their rotation in the game and the results of the season. So far, the Nets are fourth in the East with 29 wins and 19 losses. In the face of all kinds of bad things, the good news also came out, and the NBA officially announced the East and West starters of the All-Star Game. Durant became the Eastern Conference starter and was the Eastern Conference captain.
According to the rules, the fan vote ranking occupies 50% of the weight, the media and player voting ranking accounts for 25% of the weight, and the player's Chinese and Russian good fan ranking will determine the starting lineup. Durant and DeRozan are ranked first in three polls among Eastern Conference frontcourt and backcourt players, respectively. This is the second consecutive year that Durant has been elected captain. In a previous interview, Durant talked about the All-Star selection, and Durant said that this season as a captain can make better choices (compared to last season' situation), I have to make up for it, some people question my ability to be general manager.
The Basketball team's injury problem was mentioned earlier, and they still have multiple players on the injury list, including two of the Big Three. Durant has suffered injuries before and has missed nearly half a month of games, during which the Nets have lost more than they have won less, and the ranking is also declining; according to Nash's disclosure, Durant will re-evaluate next week. Harden also has injury problems, after the game against the Nuggets Harden was absent due to a hamstring injury, and according to the Nets player Bembry revealed that he is not sure when Harden will return; in addition to them, the Nets also have a top forward Joha has not returned, it is reported that Joha is discussing the second set of medical solutions, obviously the recovery situation is not ideal, which is undoubtedly a huge impact on the current Nets.
Durant, the number one scorer in the league, is absent, harden is uncertain in the team's backcourt core, the outside shooter is deeply plagued by injuries, and Irving's current situation (can only play away), so the Nets are also looking for adjustments. According to Bleacher Report reporter Jake Fischer, sources revealed that in order to strengthen the team, the Nets are discussing the trade of Javin Carter, Brooks Brown, and Nicholas Clarkton, while the Nets are also trying to find a home for Millsap. There were fewer deals to negotiate with Crickton.
Previously, it was reported that the Nets planned to find a full-fledged scorer before the trade deadline, and now they have two more players on their trade list, which means that the Nets can send away many people in order to adjust the current situation, Brown has played 39 games so far this season, averaging 6.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, shooting 48% from the field; Clarkston averaged 9 points and 5.5 rebounds in 21.9 minutes per game, shooting 65% from the field. Javin Carter averaged 2.9 points, 1.4 rebounds per game, Millsap averaged 3.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1 assist per game, of which Millsap fell significantly compared to last season (averaging 9 points, 47 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game last season), which player do you think the Nets will bring in?
Four of their next five games are against the top teams in the league, and if Harden can't come back and Irving leads the team, the Nets are in a bad position, and I don't know how Nash will adjust to deal with it.
