I do think the Nets are going to be very good if they stay healthy, because they have Patty Mills.

At least one team was interested in Durant, but not at the price the Nets were asking, which was reportedly set at the draft capital that the Jazz landed for Gobert plus at least one star player. But like a toy train with square wheels, it’s really hard to find a place for Kyrie Irving, so he’s staying on the island.
Some of the misfit toys were actually pretty cool, like the cowboy riding an ostrich instead of a pony.
Mark Barrington: The Nets are a little like the Island of Misfit Toys, which is the place where all of the toys that nobody wanted to play with ended up in the Christmas classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. How close they are to a contender remains to be seen. (Plus his trade demand always seemed a little suspect and out of the blue.) As far as if they’ll be good: if healthy and everyone (including Ben Simmons) participates, they should be a top 4 seed in the East. He’s still a top 5 player in the league when healthy, but therein lies the catch: he’s injury prone and will definitely leave his prime during the remaining four years of his contract, so I can see the hesitance from other franchises to give up too much for him in return. Marilyn Dubinski: It definitely doesn’t surprise me that no one would take Irving off their hands with all the baggage and demands (such as commanding a 60-game limit and not having to play in back-to-backs) he carries, but I’m a little more surprised there wasn’t a market for Durant. Are you surprised at all? And do you think the Nets are going to be good? Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are staying with the Nets.
