The moral of this experiment pretty much boils down to egos and injuries. Injuries ruined things early on and then egos and selfishness from guys especially kyrie buried the teams chances. Just a few weeks ago this team was the 2nd team in the east. Kind of insane how these guys blew things up again
@@bdawg2690 well Kyrie takes days off randomly and doesn’t follow the mask mandates so u can’t really blame the nets for not wanting to take a risk and giving him a SUPERMAX
The worst part about this is the nets big three never really got a chance to see how they worked. They barely ever all played together, so really we don't know how they would've actually worked together all playing together

The big 3 only played 17 games together total. Injuries plagued them 100%. Also this is an awesome format. I hope you do more of these in the future! Subbed!
As a nets fan I’m so happy this is over. Nothing ever went right and the drama was too much. I’ve never seen a team in my life with so much drama and controversy
This NBA season has been insane. Westbrook goes to clippers after the lakers trade him to the Jazz and Kevin Durant is now a Phoenix sun player Kyrie is now a Dallas Maverick. This team had 3 of the best players on one team and they blew it.
Lol the Nets are pretty much this generation's version of the mid 2000s Yankees - the buy up all the best players, but always end up failing at the end.
Thanks for the video. In those four years, no finals appearance let alone conference finals. They had 3 coaches during that time. During that time, you have the Bucks (won in 2021), Heat and Celtics reached the NBA finals.
@@itzjakedawgyou can't actually put more than three superstars on NBA team unless players are willing to sacrifice millions of dollars to keep the team together. The only superstar to do that recently is James Harden. Taking a pay cut voluntarily like Harden did is so unusual these days, the NBA opened a tampering investigation into the Philadelphia 76ers. 🏀
I’ve accepted the whole semi rebuild we’re gonna enter now. Honestly, I’m excited for what the future holds. We got some good young guys, so it helps that we have a foundation to build off of. Keeping my head up
Honestly Kyrie not getting vaccinated really destroyed the chemistry the big 3 could have built. I miss the old Kyrie who was able to accept his role to win with Lebron. He fell so hard that I won’t be surprise if he never gets a ring again.
Kyrie made the right decision. There are more important things in life other than basketball & one of them is your health. He didn't feel comfortable & wasn't willing to risk his life for a rushed vaccine & I respect that. I'm pretty sure everyone would've done what he did if they were in his shoes.
@@cesarcanete3402 Bruh Kyrie was the only selfish person on the team that didn't get vaccinated. He wasted KD and Harden's prime to develop chemistry. Good for you to respect his belief but at the end of the day he still took an L fumbling the bag and letting his team down.

I can’t believe some people are so stupid they actually think he should have let them stick an experimental vaccine in his arm that will have god knows what harmful effects on his body for the rest of his life
Coming from a sixers fan although the nets were a huge disappointment I’m actually happy for them now they got a lot of picks back and now have a young squad they can build around reminds me of the 2018 nets
Those 3 superstars teaming up made the Nets. at face value, a true title contender. But it was still a gamble, and luck didn't end up in their favor. Feel bad for the Nets fans, but I hope that they can rebuild in a more organic way somehow...
Man, the Nets in the beginning when they got KD, Kyrie, and James Harden, they were a legit contender and a lethal team. But it went downhill because of the Ben Simmonds James Harden trade in 2022, and the other trades to KD and Kyrie Irving.

Great video Jay In my opinion this nets wasn't a full fail because they were getting injured a lot and that is something that you can not control. Great vid!!!

If they think the 2014 superteam nets was bad , then this one went a lot much worse. I'm not gonna lie, 2 years ago we thought they could make history, but after injuries, drama and especially after a step on the 3pt line, nothing great came out of it.
I will say this. The Kyrie vaccine situation was ridiculous. I believe they would’ve been a higher seed in the playoffs IF the Governor on NY didn’t force Kyrie to be vaccinated to play in Brooklyn. I believe they could’ve had a ECF run IF it wasn’t for that
The Nets finally ran out of patience with Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and Kevin Durant. They simply didn't live up to the expectations and hype. Irving, Harden, and Durant had to be moved.
Brooklyn signed a couple of free agents and now they will walk away with a ton of draft picks and assets. This would never happen to a small market team, it’s just another reason the NBA is broken.
Most of the time KD gets gets injured it is because somebody falling on his leg. And it's not like a light fall I mean they are folding his ankle hyperextending his knee and tugging at his Achilles. I am not saying it's intentional I'm only saying it's unfortunate.
Brooklyn nets is a Super team But Injuries destroyed the dynasty James Harden mostly injured in the playoffs and the regular season Kyrie dealing with suspensions Kevin Durant Injuries was bad for team Most key players are injured The Nets Big 3 just played 7 games together
BTW this is one of the biggest disasters in NBA history. Kylie and harden are talented as he'll, but just as selfish. They sabotaged their team with unnecessary drama, and injuries. Oh, and there's our cupcake Durant. Mr.mogel got injured as well(predictable), and was a great scorer(predictable) The ultimate hired assassin. On to the next one.. It's laughable how many games they actually played together. Oh well..
Getting Ben Simmons, arguably the top 5 worst contracts was clutch.. Not. Shout outs to all parties involved. A petty, moody, over paid, mental case. Oh, and he has no jumpsuit, and major back problems . Bruh..
So glad we didn't give Irving, and harden didn't take a contract extension. All land mines.. Watch how he acts now that he's got the bag. I'd say good luck, mavs, but I don't mean it. 😅
Stephen a smith's takes on the nets have been worse than their roster construction, and ability to stay even relatively healthy. I know he's gotta bait clicks, but at some point you'd think the man would learn..
I have one more. How about the timeline of Kyrie Irving, from rising superstar, Finals Game 7 winning three to a controversial figure and traded to Mavs😁
What a shame this team was 13-3 with the trio of KD, Harden and Kai all healthy without the drama, personal issues and injures oh what could of been if they still all stick together never leaving
one of the biggest what if next to D-rose, i always see this as a huge disappointment & always check on what happened to their big 3, if only there were no issues & injury could had won couple of championship
Kyrie Irving’s mindset and actions during his time in Brooklyn DISGUSTED me, sure u can be anti vax, but don’t let that belief be the thing that costs your team games, I reckon him missing games was the main reason James Harden opted out
There is no loyalty in any of those superstars. Yes, they went to the team they want to be successful in but KD is injury prone and if it wasn't for that injury against the Raptors back in 2019, he would've stayed in Golden State and just chase rings with Curry and company. Harden is tough and tried to play thru injuries for the Nets in the playoffs, but once that season ended he knew he had to work twice as hard to get back there. And when they got swept, he demanded a trade because he is running out of time to be in his prime. Kyrie is also hit with injuries, not sure if Giannis purposely didn't move to avoid the contact but it changed everything. They got the talents with KD playing with Kyrie or Harden, but like the video said they were rarely playing together.
It's a failure on KD and Kyrie's legacy. They came here, wanted Nash, wanted to give up all the talent for Harden. Then Kyrie became a sometimes player, Harden quit, KD wanted out and it all became about ego and money. They wanted to manipulate and control and organization thinking they were LeBron not realizing they're just a bunch of Robin's pretending to be Batman.
This team should’ve dominated together. In my opinion I wouldn’t have traded Harden at the 2022 deadline. Yeah hindsight is 20/20 and nobody at the time knew if Kyrie was gonna be able to play home games but I think I would’ve never did it because I’m getting something outta that group then I’ll figure it out in the offseason but that’s just me
This is the true example of a superteam for all the nba Stans that love to throw that word around. This team had 3 guys that all averaged 25+ in their careers and all 3 are elite shot creators and failed
well injury & self-issues happened, also its during covid, imagine the big three pre pandemic & all are healthy, they couldve had been fighting a dynasty with golden state
The Nets are an absolute disappointment. They can’t save Ben Simmons because of his nagging injuries, Steve Nash was hired as a scapegoat and he was let go, KD and Kyrie left (though Kyrie was still a head case not just becoming an anti-vaxxer but his inexcusable anti-semetic video that the NBA and Adam Silver isn’t having it), KD and Kyrie left for separate teams (Kyrie to the Mavs, KD to the Suns in a blockbuster trade), and now, this team is hanging on for dear life not to go in the Play-in Tournament. The Nets are arguably one of the biggest collapses in NBA history. Remember when the media said The Nets are the team to beat in the East, what happened? Whatever happened to “Championship or bust?”
I used to be nets fan, I was a fan with kd and James harden and now I'm done with the nets and now I'm with Dallas mavericks with my kyrie irving and luka doncic
Without injuries i think this Big 3 will dominate the NBA in the past years, a lot of Offensive options from them and a lot of talents. But sadly yeah they've failed the wonderful experiment. Better luck next time Nets.
It's the same as the Lakers trio just a huge mistake, but nobody really paid attention to this team because Laker fans just took over the whole scene even threatning westbrook so ye.
The Real Answer Is: The Brooklyn Nets were the heavy betting favorites to win the 2022 NBA championship entering the season. It was easy to understand the preseason optimism: last time we saw the Nets, Kevin Durant was nearly carrying the team to a Game 7 victory over the eventual champion Milwaukee Bucks despite playing most of the series without injured co-superstars James Harden and Kyrie Irving. The Nets’ big three was about to have its first full offseason together to get healthy and gel on the court. There wasn’t a team in basketball with more offensive firepower on-paper. Unfortunately, the Nets were always scarier on-paper than they were on the floor. Brooklyn’s season is now over after getting eliminated in a four-game sweep to the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. While no one would have believed the Nets would go out so sad last summer, the reality is that the writing has been on the wall for this version of Brooklyn for months. How did the NBA’s preseason favorite go down in flames? It’s the end result of one of the strangest seasons we’ve seen in recent NBA history. Kyrie Irving’s refusal to get the Covid vaccine was the start of the Nets’ downfall The Nets’ championship hopes faced their first challenge back in August when New York City announced it would be the first American city to require at least one shot of the Covid vaccine for activities like indoor dining and going to the gym. That vaccine requirement extended to its two NBA teams, and there was only one player in the city who refused to comply: Kyrie Irving. Why Kyrie Irving is returning to the Nets as a part-time player The Nets kept Irving away from the team through 2021 until they eventually flip-flopped and decided to let Irving play in road games. Irving was a road-only player for the Nets until late March when the city finally lifted the mandate for athletes and performers. By the time Irving was finally allowed to be a full-time player, James Harden had forced his way out of town and the roster around Durant and Kyrie looked totally different. Irving’s refusal to the jab was the beginning of the end for Brooklyn. Somehow, a star player refusing to get a vaccine against a deadly global pandemic was only the tip of the iceberg for how weird this Nets season would get. James Harden forced his way to Philly As Irving’s absence hovered over the Nets, Harden reportedly got sick of his teammate’s refusal to get the jab and get back out on the court. Harden started the season slow as he recovered from his hamstring injury in the playoffs and adjusted to the league’s early-season emphasis on cutting back shooting fouls. He eventually worked his way into All-Star form, but he never quite recaptured his status as one of the game’s very best players. 6 NBA teams who got better at the trade deadline, and 5 who got worse by proxy With Irving away from the team for road games and Durant facing injuries, Harden started to distance himself from the team. He decided he wanted a reunion with old boss Daryl Morey now in Philadelphia with another superstar in Joel Embiid who would reliably be on the floor. Ben Simmons’ bizarre holdout situation set up a natural trade package, and eventually Harden was dealt in one of the biggest trade deadline blockbusters ever. The Nets didn’t want to lose Harden for nothing in free agency this summer, so they decided to move him for Simmons, Seth Curry, and Andre Drummond. Would Brooklyn have fared better this season if they just kept him until Irving was finally cleared to play full-time? We’ll never know. Bet on the 2022 NBA Playoffs at DraftKings Sportsbook Kevin Durant couldn’t stay healthy The Nets were still off to a 27-15 start despite Irving’s regular absence and Harden’s diminished play. Then Durant went down with a sprained MCL in his left knee, and everything fell apart. Durant missed six weeks rehabbing the injury, and Brooklyn went 5-17 over that time, with Harden’s departure happening in the middle of it. Before the playoffs, Durant cited his injury for the reason the Nets underachieved this season. “To be honest, I feel like our season was derailed by my injury,” Durant told ESPN in April. “So I’m not looking at it like we’re just not a good basketball team. It’s like there wasn’t a lot of continuity with me and Kyrie [Irving] out of the lineup, that’s just what it is. When we’re all on the floor together, I like what we got.” Ben Simmons couldn’t get back on the court after the trade deadline Simmons came to Brooklyn as the headliner in the Harden trade. He hadn’t played the entire season for the 76ers after an offseason trade demand following last year’s playoff disaster, but it was assumed he would suit up for the Nets after the deal. Wrong. Simmons suffered a back injury in practice shortly after the trade, and never cleared the mental health hurdles he said led to his trade demand. Ben Simmons’ trade demand: Latest updates on 76ers shopping All-Star forward Simmons theoretically seemed like a nice fit next to Durant and Irving as a 6’10 forward who could add value with his ball handling, passing, and elite defensive ability. He just couldn’t get back on the floor despite the Nets teasing that could make his debut in the playoffs. We’ll never know how much he could have helped this team. Joe Harris’ injury stung, too Harris has been one of the best three-point shooters in basketball over the last four seasons, but he couldn’t stay healthy this year. He exited the lineup to have surgery on his ankle in Nov. with a 1-2 month timetable originally given. The rehab took longer than expected, and Harris eventually had a second surgery on the ankle that ended his year. The Nets badly could have used a 6’6 wing to space the floor and knock down shots around their superstars, but Harris just couldn’t stay on the floor. The Nets never looked like the preseason contender we expected Brooklyn had the highest over/under win total of any team in the league entering the season at 56.5 wins. Instead, the Nets won only 44 games and had to earn their way into the playoffs via the play-in tournament. Brooklyn earned the No. 7 seed in the play-in tournament, but a first round matchup with the Celtics was always a scary proposition. Boston had the size, depth, and defense that the Nets couldn’t match up with. Boston focused its top-rated defense on shutting down Durant, and the result was one of the worst series of the star forward’s career. Durant averaged 26.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.8 rebounds for the series, but only shot 38.6 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three and also averaged 5.3 turnovers per game. Irving put up 21.3 points and 5.3 assists per game, but never made a huge impact. The issues with the supporting cast around the two stars were apparent. Brooklyn was running three or four small guards on the floor most of the series. The Celtics easily picked on smaller and weaker defenders when they had the ball. Brooklyn’s defense had no answer for Jayson Tatum, and Brooklyn’s offense could never solve what Boston was throwing at them. The Nets need more size and more shooting next season. Durant is about to turn 34 years old. We still don’t know what Simmons will look like when he eventually returns to the court. It’s unclear if Irving can still be counted on to help lead a potential title contender. Ultimately, the Nets are the biggest failure of the season, a disaster that even exceeds the Lakers. Head coach Steve Nash could have his job on the line after such an inspiring playoff run. Every spot on the roster next to Durant and Irving should be under a microscope, and that includes Simmons. In the end, the Nets just couldn’t be as great on the floor as they seemed to be theoretically. It will probably be a long time before we see a stranger season from an NBA team from start to finish.
You know, I actually was expecting a series in the eastern conference finals, My Miami Heat vs Brooklyn Nets, i though Kd and Kai can beat boston and finally beat Milwaukee, but i was very disappointed indeed
I feel like to win a championship, you don't need like the best player in the world or even build a team of superstars, a team can win a championship if they work hard, if they work together, and of course they need a reliable leader. I don't think every superteam wins championships because chemistry is also something they need to have. My 2022 Miami Heat was not the best in everyones eyes because we didn't have a star studded team. But I am very happy to say that we proved the haters wrong.

Good video but I believe you should have started when the Nets first moved to Brooklyn.
I already made that timeline
Everyone is to blame for this happening to the nets organization but it really is a shame their big three never got to gel together
Definitely man
Three things:
Ego
Injuries
And Jrue Holiday
Indeed lol
Hi bro can you do a timeline for isiah thomas BAD BOY ERA. NBA
Noted
YES!!!!!! THANKS MAN
Love you man!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU
jay when is your next vid!!!
Stephen a Smith Is Mad 10X Is Dying 💀💀💀💀💀 4:05
feels bad for KD, man just wanted to ball and had to deal with so much bullshit
So unfortunate
Great Video Please do Larry bird rise from fall
Sure man
Brooklyn nets is a Super team
But Injuries destroyed the dynasty
James Harden mostly injured in the playoffs and the regular season
Kyrie dealing with suspensions
Kevin Durant Injuries was bad for team
Most key players are injured
The Nets Big 3 just played 7 games together
So unlucky
Yes the biggest failure thank you for the video!
Welcome man!
The music is iconic. Its a very ominous tone..
BTW this is one of the biggest disasters in NBA history.
Kylie and harden are talented as he'll, but just as selfish.
They sabotaged their team with unnecessary drama, and injuries.
Oh, and there's our cupcake Durant. Mr.mogel got injured as well(predictable), and was a great scorer(predictable)
The ultimate hired assassin. On to the next one..
It's laughable how many games they actually played together.
Oh well..
Getting Ben Simmons, arguably the top 5 worst contracts was clutch..
Not.
Shout outs to all parties involved.
A petty, moody, over paid, mental case. Oh, and he has no jumpsuit, and major back problems .
Bruh..
So glad we didn't give Irving, and harden didn't take a contract extension.
All land mines..
Watch how he acts now that he's got the bag.
I'd say good luck, mavs, but I don't mean it. 😅
Stephen a smith's takes on the nets have been worse than their roster construction, and ability to stay even relatively healthy.
I know he's gotta bait clicks, but at some point you'd think the man would learn..
Thanks a lot man
Thank you
You're welcome
I have one more. How about the timeline of Kyrie Irving, from rising superstar, Finals Game 7 winning three to a controversial figure and traded to Mavs😁
Noted man. It will be a very long timeline
What a shame this team was 13-3 with the trio of KD, Harden and Kai all healthy without the drama, personal issues and injures oh what could of been if they still all stick together never leaving
Another what if
one of the biggest what if next to D-rose, i always see this as a huge disappointment & always check on what happened to their big 3, if only there were no issues & injury could had won couple of championship
Biggest bust of a dynasty since the OKC Thunder.
💀💀💀
Kyrie Irving’s mindset and actions during his time in Brooklyn DISGUSTED me, sure u can be anti vax, but don’t let that belief be the thing that costs your team games, I reckon him missing games was the main reason James Harden opted out
True man. Kyrie had the talent. But his issues ruined the team
Meanwhile Phoenix Suns looking at this and think: Let's do this exact same thing with KD, Brooks and Beal
Yeah. They had no depth
Thank you bro
Welcome man
The Nets tried to build a contender, but all they did was put themselves into a “net”
🤦🤦🤦
There is no loyalty in any of those superstars. Yes, they went to the team they want to be successful in but KD is injury prone and if it wasn't for that injury against the Raptors back in 2019, he would've stayed in Golden State and just chase rings with Curry and company. Harden is tough and tried to play thru injuries for the Nets in the playoffs, but once that season ended he knew he had to work twice as hard to get back there. And when they got swept, he demanded a trade because he is running out of time to be in his prime. Kyrie is also hit with injuries, not sure if Giannis purposely didn't move to avoid the contact but it changed everything. They got the talents with KD playing with Kyrie or Harden, but like the video said they were rarely playing together.
💀💀💀
The best big 3 that never got their due
💀💀💀
As a Nets Fan, I'm really disappointing I thought we were the title contenders but instead a failure.
Massive failure
It's a failure on KD and Kyrie's legacy. They came here, wanted Nash, wanted to give up all the talent for Harden. Then Kyrie became a sometimes player, Harden quit, KD wanted out and it all became about ego and money. They wanted to manipulate and control and organization thinking they were LeBron not realizing they're just a bunch of Robin's pretending to be Batman.
Harden ruined us 😭 and now we have no picks biggest baby
Very unfortunate
This team should’ve dominated together. In my opinion I wouldn’t have traded Harden at the 2022 deadline. Yeah hindsight is 20/20 and nobody at the time knew if Kyrie was gonna be able to play home games but I think I would’ve never did it because I’m getting something outta that group then I’ll figure it out in the offseason but that’s just me
I agree with you man
I think of it this way: if KD hit that shot to beat bucks in game 7, they would be champions in 2021. Would’ve beat Atlanta in 5 and suns in 6.
What could have been
This is the true example of a superteam for all the nba Stans that love to throw that word around. This team had 3 guys that all averaged 25+ in their careers and all 3 are elite shot creators and failed
Very unfortunate
well injury & self-issues happened, also its during covid, imagine the big three pre pandemic & all are healthy, they couldve had been fighting a dynasty with golden state
4 talented but flawed stars
💀💀💀
The Nets are an absolute disappointment. They can’t save Ben Simmons because of his nagging injuries, Steve Nash was hired as a scapegoat and he was let go, KD and Kyrie left (though Kyrie was still a head case not just becoming an anti-vaxxer but his inexcusable anti-semetic video that the NBA and Adam Silver isn’t having it), KD and Kyrie left for separate teams (Kyrie to the Mavs, KD to the Suns in a blockbuster trade), and now, this team is hanging on for dear life not to go in the Play-in Tournament. The Nets are arguably one of the biggest collapses in NBA history. Remember when the media said The Nets are the team to beat in the East, what happened? Whatever happened to “Championship or bust?”
Maybe the biggest disappointment of all time
Great vid someone stole my phone finally got a new phone
Thanks a lot man!
I used to be nets fan, I was a fan with kd and James harden and now I'm done with the nets and now I'm with Dallas mavericks with my kyrie irving and luka doncic
🙏🙏🙏
Kevin McHale, Robert Parish & Larry Bird Big 3 Boston Era your next video Jay Warvz 🙏🙏🙏
Soon man
Brooklyn brought a spotlight to their franchise, and got a ridiculous amount of draft capital
🔥🔥🔥
How do you get KD, Kyrie, Harden and don't win anything. smh
💀💀💀
Without injuries i think this Big 3 will dominate the NBA in the past years, a lot of Offensive options from them and a lot of talents. But sadly yeah they've failed the wonderful experiment. Better luck next time Nets.
Very unfortunate man
As a Bucks fan, this was glorious.
🤣🤣🤣
Do you think they stay together longer if Durant made that 3 in 2021?
I think they may have.
Probably
It's the same as the Lakers trio just a huge mistake, but nobody really paid attention to this team because Laker fans just took over the whole scene even threatning westbrook so ye.
Indeed man
I think we all to give golden state props, they have best staff every player gets better and there is no egos thats how you build team not make it
Indeed man
The Real Answer Is:
The Brooklyn Nets were the heavy betting favorites to win the 2022 NBA championship entering the season. It was easy to understand the preseason optimism: last time we saw the Nets, Kevin Durant was nearly carrying the team to a Game 7 victory over the eventual champion Milwaukee Bucks despite playing most of the series without injured co-superstars James Harden and Kyrie Irving. The Nets’ big three was about to have its first full offseason together to get healthy and gel on the court. There wasn’t a team in basketball with more offensive firepower on-paper.
Unfortunately, the Nets were always scarier on-paper than they were on the floor. Brooklyn’s season is now over after getting eliminated in a four-game sweep to the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. While no one would have believed the Nets would go out so sad last summer, the reality is that the writing has been on the wall for this version of Brooklyn for months.
How did the NBA’s preseason favorite go down in flames? It’s the end result of one of the strangest seasons we’ve seen in recent NBA history.
Kyrie Irving’s refusal to get the Covid vaccine was the start of the Nets’ downfall
The Nets’ championship hopes faced their first challenge back in August when New York City announced it would be the first American city to require at least one shot of the Covid vaccine for activities like indoor dining and going to the gym. That vaccine requirement extended to its two NBA teams, and there was only one player in the city who refused to comply: Kyrie Irving.
Why Kyrie Irving is returning to the Nets as a part-time player
The Nets kept Irving away from the team through 2021 until they eventually flip-flopped and decided to let Irving play in road games. Irving was a road-only player for the Nets until late March when the city finally lifted the mandate for athletes and performers.
By the time Irving was finally allowed to be a full-time player, James Harden had forced his way out of town and the roster around Durant and Kyrie looked totally different. Irving’s refusal to the jab was the beginning of the end for Brooklyn. Somehow, a star player refusing to get a vaccine against a deadly global pandemic was only the tip of the iceberg for how weird this Nets season would get.
James Harden forced his way to Philly
As Irving’s absence hovered over the Nets, Harden reportedly got sick of his teammate’s refusal to get the jab and get back out on the court. Harden started the season slow as he recovered from his hamstring injury in the playoffs and adjusted to the league’s early-season emphasis on cutting back shooting fouls. He eventually worked his way into All-Star form, but he never quite recaptured his status as one of the game’s very best players.
6 NBA teams who got better at the trade deadline, and 5 who got worse by proxy
With Irving away from the team for road games and Durant facing injuries, Harden started to distance himself from the team. He decided he wanted a reunion with old boss Daryl Morey now in Philadelphia with another superstar in Joel Embiid who would reliably be on the floor. Ben Simmons’ bizarre holdout situation set up a natural trade package, and eventually Harden was dealt in one of the biggest trade deadline blockbusters ever.
The Nets didn’t want to lose Harden for nothing in free agency this summer, so they decided to move him for Simmons, Seth Curry, and Andre Drummond. Would Brooklyn have fared better this season if they just kept him until Irving was finally cleared to play full-time? We’ll never know.

Kevin Durant couldn’t stay healthy
The Nets were still off to a 27-15 start despite Irving’s regular absence and Harden’s diminished play. Then Durant went down with a sprained MCL in his left knee, and everything fell apart. Durant missed six weeks rehabbing the injury, and Brooklyn went 5-17 over that time, with Harden’s departure happening in the middle of it.
Before the playoffs, Durant cited his injury for the reason the Nets underachieved this season.
“To be honest, I feel like our season was derailed by my injury,” Durant told ESPN in April. “So I’m not looking at it like we’re just not a good basketball team. It’s like there wasn’t a lot of continuity with me and Kyrie [Irving] out of the lineup, that’s just what it is. When we’re all on the floor together, I like what we got.”
Ben Simmons couldn’t get back on the court after the trade deadline
Simmons came to Brooklyn as the headliner in the Harden trade. He hadn’t played the entire season for the 76ers after an offseason trade demand following last year’s playoff disaster, but it was assumed he would suit up for the Nets after the deal. Wrong. Simmons suffered a back injury in practice shortly after the trade, and never cleared the mental health hurdles he said led to his trade demand.
Ben Simmons’ trade demand: Latest updates on 76ers shopping All-Star forward
Simmons theoretically seemed like a nice fit next to Durant and Irving as a 6’10 forward who could add value with his ball handling, passing, and elite defensive ability. He just couldn’t get back on the floor despite the Nets teasing that could make his debut in the playoffs. We’ll never know how much he could have helped this team.
Joe Harris’ injury stung, too
Harris has been one of the best three-point shooters in basketball over the last four seasons, but he couldn’t stay healthy this year. He exited the lineup to have surgery on his ankle in Nov. with a 1-2 month timetable originally given. The rehab took longer than expected, and Harris eventually had a second surgery on the ankle that ended his year.
The Nets badly could have used a 6’6 wing to space the floor and knock down shots around their superstars, but Harris just couldn’t stay on the floor.
The Nets never looked like the preseason contender we expected
Brooklyn had the highest over/under win total of any team in the league entering the season at 56.5 wins. Instead, the Nets won only 44 games and had to earn their way into the playoffs via the play-in tournament.
Brooklyn earned the No. 7 seed in the play-in tournament, but a first round matchup with the Celtics was always a scary proposition. Boston had the size, depth, and defense that the Nets couldn’t match up with.
Boston focused its top-rated defense on shutting down Durant, and the result was one of the worst series of the star forward’s career. Durant averaged 26.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.8 rebounds for the series, but only shot 38.6 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three and also averaged 5.3 turnovers per game. Irving put up 21.3 points and 5.3 assists per game, but never made a huge impact.
The issues with the supporting cast around the two stars were apparent. Brooklyn was running three or four small guards on the floor most of the series. The Celtics easily picked on smaller and weaker defenders when they had the ball. Brooklyn’s defense had no answer for Jayson Tatum, and Brooklyn’s offense could never solve what Boston was throwing at them.
The Nets need more size and more shooting next season. Durant is about to turn 34 years old. We still don’t know what Simmons will look like when he eventually returns to the court. It’s unclear if Irving can still be counted on to help lead a potential title contender.
Ultimately, the Nets are the biggest failure of the season, a disaster that even exceeds the Lakers. Head coach Steve Nash could have his job on the line after such an inspiring playoff run. Every spot on the roster next to Durant and Irving should be under a microscope, and that includes Simmons. In the end, the Nets just couldn’t be as great on the floor as they seemed to be theoretically. It will probably be a long time before we see a stranger season from an NBA team from start to finish.
You know, I actually was expecting a series in the eastern conference finals, My Miami Heat vs Brooklyn Nets, i though Kd and Kai can beat boston and finally beat Milwaukee, but i was very disappointed indeed
We all expected a lot
Lol that was me in 2021 Hopefully the Heat would of went against the NETS with KD,Harden,Kyrie in the ECF but then The Heat got swept
@@itz_angel8618 yea, but atleast we redeem ourselves in 2022
I feel like to win a championship, you don't need like the best player in the world or even build a team of superstars, a team can win a championship if they work hard, if they work together, and of course they need a reliable leader. I don't think every superteam wins championships because chemistry is also something they need to have. My 2022 Miami Heat was not the best in everyones eyes because we didn't have a star studded team. But I am very happy to say that we proved the haters wrong.
Brooklyn will still be my favorite team!!
🔥🔥🔥
You know this is crazy
yes 100% no dissagreement
💀💀💀
they were all right. kd did make a massive mistake leaving steph for the bum kyrie
Indeed
Lol, it's not even that it just they have so many old players, and they have zero defense 🤣 = zero chemistry
They didn't gel well, the talent was there tho. Great video by the way.
Thanks man
