The latest Nets era appears to be over. The Nets agreed to trade Kevin Durant to the Suns.
“I just am glad he got out of there,” Kyrie Irving said.

NEXT STEP FOR BKN (2/2):
Brooklyn has to make some quick decisions on Cam Johnson, Seth Curry, Jae Crowder & Royce O’Neale. Cam will be an RFA this summer and expecting a pay day. Crowder will likely be traded or bought out. Curry & O’Neale may not be in the long-term plans. – 3:33 AM

BROOKLYN LUXURY TAX ANALYSIS:
• BKN was $26.3M > the tax & just over for 23/24
• BKN is now $16.5M > the tax & well under for 23/24
• BKN has save $70M+ in Luxury Tax payment in the last week. Before the Kyrie trade their tax bill was $105.4M and now it’s down to $33.6M. – 3:33 AM

KD TRADE BREAKDOWN:
• PHX: Kevin Durant & TJ Warren
• BKN: Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, 4 Unprotected 1sts (’23, ’25, ’27, ’29), and a Pick Swap in ’28
PHX needs to sign 1 player.
KD’s 15% Trade Bonus is voided.
BKN created 2 TPEs: $7.9M and $1.8M – 3:33 AM

The Rockets should consider packaging the 2023 Nets swap with Eric Gordon to get a good young player and/or future first.
The swap is useless to Houston because of how bad they are, but to a good team?

Mikal Bridges just had the best scoring month of his career (23 PPG on 17 FGA). He’s 26 and fits the trajectory of Brooklyn’s youth: Cam Thomas, Nic Claxton & Cam Johnson. Seeing tweets about the Nets flipping Bridges. I don’t think that makes sense unless the return is massive. – 2:26 AM

The 2023 swap right with Brooklyn is likely worthless, but there’s a slim chance.

Imagine telling Thunder fans in 2016 that 7 years later, Russell Westbrook would be traded to his 5th team and Kevin Durant would be traded to his 4th team on the same night. – 1:33 AM

This is going to sound absolutely insane, but…
The more I think about it, the more I feel like Brooklyn’s long-term outlook isn’t THAT bad. It’s far better than what Sean Marks first inherited.
A ton of good picks from other teams. A bunch of decent players to keep or flip… – 1:33 AM

Kevin Durant improves Phoenix’s defense too.
KD and Claxton were one of the best defensive duos this year. Elite switchability and rim protection.
Now the Suns can play KD at the 4 next to Deandre Ayton, or in the West playoffs go with KD at the 5 against anyone except Denver. pic.twitter.com/b1oXeWBvXY – 1:33 AM

Heat continues conversations on Lowry. We’ll see where it leads. Durant stings because package wasn’t incredibly great, but still better than anything Heat could offer with Bam off limits – 1:32 AM

My favorite part of this deal is finding out which people that cover the Nets have healthy sleep schedules – 1:30 AM
