Watching the Nets struggle to separate from a bad, shorthanded Orlando squad in their 109-102 victory on Monday night at Barclays Center brought flashbacks to last season. And not the good kind. With the Nets in a dogfight just to qualify for the 2022 play-in tournament, they needed to ride superstar forward Kevin Durant hard. Over the last 10 games, half of them versus non-playoff teams tanking for better lottery odds, KD averaged 40 minutes per game.
Ben Simmons should be the player that makes up the difference. Outside of "The Others" raising their level of production, Sean Marks will have no better option than to consolidate our debt by trading away anyone not named Kevin Durant, in order to retool around him with the hopes of improving this team's chances of winning a championship.
