Did they really mess up their future by having a superteam?
I’ve seen several people online say that the Nets should’ve never had a superteam and instead keep their old core
In 2019, The Nets went 42-40 and were the 6th seed and lost in 5 games to the 76ers. The team had an average defense and a below average offense with a -.1 net rating.
They were led by DLo. They also had Joe Harris, Jarrett Allen and Dinwiddie. The rest are just a bunch of role players.
Honestly, If they had kept this core, They would’ve been missing the playoffs or losing in the first round.
Signing Durant and Irving as free agents was a no brainer. I genuinely didn’t like the Harden trade because giving up that many draft picks gave me flashbacks to the Billy King Celtics trade. That being said, I understand why they did it, and for a short period of time they looked like the greatest team ever assembled.
