Actually having draft picks and young players to groom
They need real assets to win games since they traded picks. Again it just makes so much more sense to bring it back for a year and then see how it plays out. Its in Kyrie best interest to show the world he is sane and worth a max contract. Its in Durant best interest to show the world he is elite and that will get more teams open to spend real assets for him. The Nets need to see what Ben bring to the team, if he's back to near normal on defense his value jumps up. Again sure it could all fail but factoring the upside vs what is currently being offered, it makes sense to bring the gang back another year. That sucks for us but from their perspective makes the most sense.
Of course it makes sense to bring back arguably the best player in the NBA. The thing is he demanded out. Let’s see what he does next.
I don’t think teams are unsure as to whether Durant is elite or not lol. He has nothing to prove. It’s a question of how much control he will exert.
And without Durant, BKN aren’t real contenders. Their focus shifts to being “fun”, marketable and attractive to future free agents while developing what young talent they can. Make money and rebuild
