the kawhi decision determines whether BKN kicked our a**** in the rebuild. totally different strategies in the early going.
Marks is no joke, he probably wins executive of the year if Durant were healthy, maybe still. That is, unless a certain LA team lands Kawhi. Still, I can’t help but feel like Durant and Kyrie have been setting this up for months, we’ve been hearing rumors of them in NY for a long time now, clearly the nets knew something too when they made the trade to clear that 2nd max slot.
I do think Durant is done as a top 5 player in the NBA. And I wouldn't have wanted the Lakers to sign him to a max contract. So whether the Nets will be successful depends on the results they will produce. Its certainly newsworthy though that they have been able to attract 2 A players....kudos to Marks who seems to be a great GM.
