Steve Nash was dismissed, Sean Marks was disheveled and Kyrie Irving has his fingerprints on dismantling yet another team with championship aspirations.
It felt like a hint that his disastrous news conference from Saturday, whereat the notion of being questioned about posting tweets containing an antisemitic movie, would be repeated.“We’re looking for somebody to have poise, charisma, accountability,” Marks said. “We’re not a finished product. We’re not playing up to our expectations or where we should be, so you hope this new coach can come in here and put this group in the best possible place to succeed.
But there’s hardly any coach who can take this roster through a stacked Eastern Conference, even if Durant is still at the top tier of individual players, alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Stephen Curry. And honestly, the Irving sabbatical is coming. Set a watch to it. He’s due for an absence and maybe, just maybe, he’ll let the team know this time.And that’s the reason the Nets should do the right thing here, start recouping draft picks and young players by sending Durant to a place where he can be best maximized.
Irving is a great soloist, but he can’t maximize Durant and Durant shouldn’t have to be in a position to be a connector — that was the beauty of James Harden when he was right .
