What should the Nets do?

[oldtimer28]

Some scattered threads but nothing on point.

Nets traded a great young team and coach for a win now superstar team...that disintegrated.

Durant wants Mia/Pho
Irving wants LA

Simmons is a major unknown and a the third best player on a championship at best (unless his shooting improves).

Could trade Simmons too for a complete rebuild but his value is low.

Could force stars back but you already gave them everything. Even let them choose the coach.

I would try to mend the relationships and try with the current healthy team but also get a new coach as it's difficult to manage big egos.

Hopefully one more year improves Simmons' value to decide whether he is a franchise player or can be traded for picks.

AD/Westbrook for Durant/Irving is the best option because you are getting the best player available (Anthony Davis) and you are getting an expiring contract in Russell Westbrook

C - Davis
PF - Simmons
SF - Harris
SG - Curry
PG - Westbrook

Kyrie is leaving and might fake an injury this season and just collect his checks. Russ will play for you and you are putting him on a team that he might do well with.

Trade Durant to Houston and get all their picks back and tank.

Nothing else to do.

Durant and Kyrie plundered the entire franchise.

I posted this in another thread:

Durant and Mills for Jaylen Brown and Smart. Who says no?

Celtics lineup:

Mills/Tatum/Durant/Horford/Williams (long as hell) - White, G. Williams off bench

Nets lineup:

Simmons / Smart / Brown / O'Neale / Claxton - Drummond, S. Curry, Harris off bench.

That Nets lineup is nothing special but the defense would be something else.
