What Went Wrong With Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn

It's June 30, 2019, and the NBA is in the midst of one of the most iconic offseasons in league history, as highly recruited prospects John Moran and Zion Williamson headline the 2019 draft. A disgruntled Anthony Davis is trying to force his way out in New Orleans. in a free agency class that was so talented that inherently the landscape of the NBA was going to change forever when Kemba Walker brought his talents to Boston. Jimmy Butler signed with the Miami Heat and Kawhi Leonard, who was just weeks away from winning a championship. and the Finals MVP was weighing all of his options to determine where he would go next and while the NBA world waited for that answer, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant gave us all something to talk about as both hyper-skilled scoring machines united forces and signed with The Brooklyn Nets formed one of the most impressive duos in the NBA, the stars began to appear immediately, they were met with very high expectations and this was not only because of the undeniable talent between Duran and Irving with a panorama of the Eastern Conference, very impressive support.

You could easily argue that as soon as Durant and Irving made it known that they were going to play in Brooklyn, you could argue that the cast and a respectable tangent of coaches and front office executives were viewed as a championship or a bus move and, From the outside looking in, it seemed as if that was a challenge that not only were both stars willing to accept, but did so with open arms, but unfortunately they never came close to reaching the mark, we fast forward to where we are today. and the Katie and Kyrie era in Brooklyn has peaked to a level. of success that equates to a second round appearance and

what

makes things even more disturbing is that it appears as if the quest to bring a championship to Brooklyn has ended as the relationship between the two stars in the front office has soured. so much so that it has resulted in Kevin Durant requesting a trade even though we are only about a year away from him receiving a contract extension, so

what

exactly happened now?

One would easily believe that adding Kevin Any Rain and Kyrie Irving for any franchise should be an easy and simple process, but no, he was not the first when it comes to Kevin Durant, it is important to know that just a few weeks before signing with the Brooklyn Nets suffered an Achilles tendon injury that kept him out for the next year. I don't mention this because I think it was a bad signing, it was a great decision on Brooklyn's part, a no-brainer, but because Katie missed a lot of basketball during her tenure in Brooklyn it became a recurring theme throughout These last three years, not only would many people like me assume that his athleticism was returning to The point he is at now also had a lot to do with his injury, but I'm getting ahead of myself a little, I just remember that during the first year Kevin Durant will not play because he will be sidelined due to his Achilles injury next.

One nuance that I think a lot of people overlook is that DeAndre Jordan signed at that time, the Brooklyn Network signed the 31-year-old big man to a four-year, $40 million contract and this was certainly confusing to the masses, mainly because he was a DJ both years. He had previously shown so much regression that any team that had aspirations of winning a championship definitely didn't have him at the top of their free agent list and even if they were interested in signing him to a four-year deal it was definitely off the table, What made this decision even more difficult for the Brooklyn Nets is that they already had Jared Allen on their team, who at the time was a young sinner who showed a lot of promise in a previous year and had a very similar game. style to Jordan and add also the fact that Allen had a very manageable contract and once again one could only label his signing as a huge enigma;

However, he eventually became much more sympathetic once it was revealed that DeAndre Jordan had a great relationship with both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, so yes, good old nepotism never fails when you add star-caliber talent to your roster, but of course In some ways the biggest and most forgotten factor during the 2019 offseason was Kyrie Irving now, at the time, Kyrie's talent was undeniable. Easily one of the NBA's most versatile scorers, he was extremely skilled and had proven during his time in Boston and Cleveland that he was a great second option for a championship-caliber team, but nevertheless, from a talent standpoint, he really There was not much doubt behind the addition of Kyrie Irving, but instead there were many questions about the baggage that accompanied Kyrie on his team because while Kyrie contributed to his legacy in Boston and Cleveland, he also built a negative reputation throughout the league with his infamous mood swings that would result in him becoming isolated among his teammates and this is something that was seen in Brooklyn very early on, even before the season started, and it was unclear to me what exactly triggered this episode.

Some people cite visible frustration in Kyrie during the preseason. trip to China as an NBA athlete felt uncomfortable being in the middle of his situation which was perpetuated by other people in the NBA like Dara Mori with political problems between China and Hong Kong while other people cite his resistance to putting on a wearable during field of training with the Nets, which is essentially just a smart device that athletes put on their wrist that helps analyze and detect certain body signals and vital signs when the athlete is training and allows a team to collect data that best suits their training methods.

Kyrie's hesitation stemmed from his concern revolving around what exactly the team was doing with that data and how they were using it and whether they were selling it to other organizations, but regardless of how it started, multiple sources claimed that the end result was that Kyrie did not. He communicated with his teammates now when it was given to them. the opportunity that members of the media would ask Kevin Durant if he sees himself providing any input on potential concerns that Kyrie's behavior will affect the team and more or less Rent felt the best course of action for his Part of it might be more like not intervening.

He cites the approach as saying that he has all the intangibles you'd want in a teammate and a great player, but the most important thing is to respect Kyrie's process of how he prepares before games. Now some people might see this as supportive, while other people saw it as enabling. and I'll leave that to you now in terms of Kyrie and how he responded when members of the media brought this to his attention, more or less identifying it as true while also marginalizing the potential impact it could have on his teammates. by stating that having mood swings is simply the human experience that everyone has and that the media was exaggerating, which in some ways is true, but that argument definitely wouldn't last long if the Nets started struggling early on of the season, which Unfortunately, they did in the first 11 games of the season, even though Kyrie put up very respectable numbers, the Nets had a record of four and seven and also on the Internet there were some concerns about how he was executing exactly the Red's offense like Kenny Atkinson did. quoted as saying that we're not really running anything, we've lost a little bit of our structure and organization, so yeah, like I said before, it's very, very complex and to make matters worse, it's about to get even more complicated because after eight years. point loss against the Denver Nuggets Kyrie would essentially be sidelined for the next two months of basketball dealing with a shoulder injury now within that time frame to be fair to Kyrie publicly he was very supportive of his teammates which which is something that many people criticized. him in his previous situations in Cleveland and Boston, so there seemed to have been some improvements and more effort on Kyrie's part to try to cultivate a relationship with some of his teammates now, after the hiatus of just two months, Kyrie I would eventually come back and play.

Basketball was active for a few games but unfortunately the shoulder injury persisted and Irving ultimately decided to opt for shoulder surgery which unfortunately was ending the season or at least that's what we thought, look I'm not going to be through that much time. in the next part of the timeline because although a lot of people want to think it's important, it really isn't, about a month and a half after Kyrie was ruled out for the rest of the season, greed hit America with a lot of force. The virus hit so hard that the NBA had no choice but to suspend the season after doing so.

Over the next few months, NBA officials, players and owners met and had an ongoing conversation about how they should wrap up the season now when it comes to Kyrie originally. Everything was for the idea of ​​resuming the NBA season and in a controlled environment that we now know is the bubble and this is going to be huge for Brooklyn because even though Kevin Durant missed the entire season and Kyrie was only available for 20 games, Brooklyn The Nets were still able to stay afloat to the point that they were competing for a playoff spot and the ongoing dialogue had dragged on so long that Kyrie was able to fully recover from his surgery, meaning he would have been available to play in the bubble, however.

Kyrie would eventually change his mind. Now there are several reasons why he did it, but the most important reason is because there was a subsection of NBA players who didn't want to resume play and felt like his voice wasn't being heard. properly heard because of this, Kyrie used star power to elevate the voices of these players and then

went

on to represent them in the conversations that the owners, players and officials were having and even

went

the extra step to support the supporters and refuse . play in the NBA bubble once the season resumed and if that wasn't enough, Kyrie was very open to the idea of ​​striking against the NBA bubble due to the racial injustice that was happening in America in that moment, now the reason why I say This doesn't really matter because even if it was someone who was against Kyrie's actions, honestly, what exactly would you expect if he played?

Yes, it was great that the Nets were able to stay afloat during Durant's absence in Irving's absence, however, even if Kyrie came. I came back and played for the Brooklyn Nets in a bubble. A first-round exit is his ceiling, which is what happened anyway, so again, who cares? But the main reason I say this doesn't really matter is because when all this was going on, no one was really talking about the fact that the Brooklyn Nets fired their head coach Kenny Atkinson, which was a much bigger story and important thing that was happening with the Brooklyn Nets at the time, which is a great transition to the second year now during the 2020 offseason. two important events that occurred, the first was the king of the dismissals, Atkinson, now, like many As far as we know, when a head coach is fired, everyone in the organization tries to absolve themselves of responsibility, yet there is a lot of information pointing to Kevin Durant and Kyrie.

Irving, at the very least, has a huge influence on the decisions that fired Kenny Atkinson, as well as the hiring of his replacement. From a more organizational standpoint, it really doesn't make any sense for other Brooklyn Nets to change their head coach. Atkinson had been in the organization before KD and Kyrie was there and in doing so created a winning culture for an organization with a group of young players who were still on the team and even into last season while Durant missed the entire year and Kyrie only played 20 games, he was still able to play. coach his team to a playoff birth, which then adds even more validity by pointing out the influence of Durant and Irving on this decision and over the summer, while speculation was at its peak, of course, the rain, Irving addressed this and in doing so marginalized its potential impact on the decisions that fired his head coach, but also while doing so, Kyrie for whatever reason seemed necessary to highlight the things he felt he needed from a head coach, almost implying that Kenny Atkinson were missing or not provided.

Kenny was great for the group. that served and I really appreciated what he was giving us throughout the season when we were playing, we don't need someone to come in and put his coaching philosophy on everything we're doing and change the wheel and I you guys need to start doing this and we started to run on the first day of practice, it's like not now, even if they were optimistic on Kyrie's part, thenThey would assume that if Kenny Atkinson was lacking in some way, the replacement for him. It would be someone who had the experience to prove that he had the ability to lead this team to a championship, but unfortunately it was not because replacing Kimi Atkinson was the all-time great point guard, Steve Nash, who did not have the experience to make things worse. things.

It's not that the Nets were forced to go with Steve Nash due to a lack of options because in fact there were several coaches who had the experience and in fact some of them were hired as assistants in Mike Dantoni and Doku via email, so it's certainly a headache until it's revealed. that Durant and Nash had cultivated a relationship during Durant's time as a warrior and, as we already know, Brooklyn is more than willing to make decisions based on nepotism that favors Katie and Kyrie, for example, the signing of DeAndre Jordan, as well Yes, there are many signs that point in this direction, but I want to make it clear that these are all accusations and rumors and I am just connecting the dots that then lead us to the second important event and that is recruiting James Harden.

Now I want to make it clear that there is a lot of speculation. There are a lot of rumors even more than the coach situation, so keep that in mind, however, it is rumored that during an event in Las Vegas, Durant approached him harshly and tried to persuade him to leave Houston now, of course, as we all know.I know that later in the timeline Hardin would eventually do this so in hindsight it could be 2020 but even at one point it's not that far fetched to believe this to be true because when you put things in the right context , still makes a lot of sense, the Rockets.

From an organizational standpoint, they were making a lot of changes, they decided to part ways with the general manager, Daryl Mori, the head coach and Mike Dantoni. Also in the same season they traded Westbrook and what they got in return really wasn't much. anything and a lot of people like me felt like the Rockets were getting further and further away from being a title contending team and with all that going on, Hardin is 31 years old and has two years left on his contract, yeah it makes a lot of sense that this conversation be Now had to be just to harden at this point in the timeline; he had not yet requested to be traded, but would do so just a few weeks later, as about 15 games into a regular season, Hardin was now a Brooklyn Net and what Brooklyn waived.

In exchange it was a huge loot. Now I'm not going to highlight each of the last pieces that were traded because there were a lot of moving parts, but the three most important pieces that Brooklyn lost in their trade were Jared Allen, Karis Levert in a lot of draft. Now you might be wondering why Brooklyn gave up so much if when they entered into trade negotiations with Houston they had all the leverage, that's where things get a little more problematic, in part because the Nets were competing with Philadelphia. 76ers trade package headlined by Ben Simmons and a bunch of draft picks as well, but more importantly there are claims that Durant was pushing hard for this trade and the reason he did it is not just because he wanted to toughen up but also because Brooklyn was pretty desperate at the time despite all the hype surrounding this team, when Hardin was traded to the Nets, they had a record of seven and six.

Spencer Dinwiddie was ruled out for the rest of the year after tearing his ACL in the third game of the season. Kevin Durant had missed a few games due to coverage protocol and, oh yeah, Kyrie just disappeared for two weeks straight. It was later revealed that he was dealing with a family business, but the fact that he disappeared no one in the organization knew where he was. Definitely problematic, so it's pretty easy to believe that the front office in Brooklyn felt the pressure, regardless of whether it was directly from Kevin Durant or not. Now, when the Nets pulled off the trade, there was a lot of optimism surrounding the team.

They were going to have the ability to turn the season around by the end of the year and they basically did that when the regular season ended, the Nets had a record of 48 and 24, which was the second best record in the Eastern Conference, they had number one. ranked offense and all three stars were putting up ridiculous numbers and what stood out even more is that the Nets were able to accomplish this despite their big three barely playing together for the rest of the year as both Durant and Hard and failed substantially. time throughout the regular season dealing with hamstring injuries and, oh yeah, I almost forgot, Kyrie took another break midseason, but this time he let his team know so it wouldn't be considered an act of disappearance when I was dealing with some. more family issues due to these factors Hardin Irving and Durant only played 10 games alongside each other and with limited reps there was some skepticism that the big three were going to be able to translate their Elite level play to the postseason, but that wasn't the case.

It lasted a long time in the first round, Brooklyn gutted the Boston Celtics, and while doing so, Durant Irving and Hardin put up amazing numbers, so heading into the second round, many people looked at the Brooklyn Nets as a legitimate contender to the title, but this is where it unfortunately all falls apart. literally the first possession and the second round against the Milwaukee Bucks James Harden sprains his hamstring three games later after taking a 2-1 lead. Kyrie lands awkwardly on Giannis's foot, sprains his ankle and keeps him out for the rest of the series, but even with that.

As this occurred, the Nets were still able to push through a seven-game series largely due to a historic performance by Kevin Durant in Game 5, but then came up short because Katie's big toe was too long since her foot was on the line during a series-deciding shot. As unfortunately game 7 was taken to overtime instead of Brooklyn winning that game and in overtime it became clear that Durant was gas as he struggled to make a shot, allowing Milwaukee to walk away with the series. Victoria, now many people might see this season as a failure. As the Brooklyn Nets in their Big Three failed to lift the Hilary O'Brien Trophy at the end of the year, however, many people decided to go with a glass half full mentality as the Nets proved they had the ability to be one. of the best teams in the conference, even though they didn't even have their breakthrough together all season, they also provided enough evidence that although they weren't capable of playing defense at an elite level, they could still win games routinely out of his depth. pure offensive power, but most importantly Brooklyn was able to take the inevitable champion Milwaukee Bucks to seven games even though both Kyrie and James Harden were dealing with injuries, so heading into next year it's very clear by how many people thought highly of Brooklyn, but unfortunately that level of optimism didn't last long, so during the offseason of '21 a lot of things happened that I think a lot of people may have overlooked, the first was that Brooklyn made some changes on your list. went unnoticed, but then one would have had a lasting impact and those changes separated from Landry Shaman Spencer Dinwiddie and DeAndre Jordan Now, although there is no clear evidence of this, it is strongly implied that the reason why the front office decided to go in this direction is just to save themselves financially and the biggest indicator that this is how they dealt with DeAndre Jordan because DJ had such a bad contract that the only way the Brooklyn Nets could get away from him is if they gave up four seconds. round picks in the process, which is a huge blow for an organization that just gave up a huge amount of draft capital during the beefed up transaction and while yes, these players were replaced by other individuals, it is undeniable that there was a drop in talent, which meant that an already quite weak team became even more reliant on their big three, the second thing that happened was losing both Mike D'Antoni and Imedoku, which raised a lot of red flags for people who follow this team very closely because there was a true belief that the entire identity of the Nets in the previous season was heavily influenced by Antoni and yodoku and not by Steve Nash, but the most important and the most impactful factor that really broke the Brooklyn Nets was Kyrie not being vaccinated as the NBA adjusted to a new role. which consisted of covid, so did the rest of the country and in doing so, some states made it mandatory for people to get vaccinated if they wanted to participate in public events.

Now, for most teams in the league, this really wasn't a big deal. not only because an overwhelming majority of players were already vaccinated, but there are also only a handful of states that are willing to follow a mandate, but unfortunately for Brooklyn they definitely ended up with the short end of the stick, as New York was one of The few states implemented a mandate, while Kyrie was one of the few players in the league who refused to get vaccinated, because of this, Kyrie was only allowed to play road games in cities and states that did not require him to get vaccinated. vaccinated, effectively making him a part-time player, a concept that the Brooklyn Nets from an organizational standpoint originally agreed to, but later in the offseason ultimately changed their mind.

Do you know what you would do? Know? If you felt uncomfortable at the start of the season. When? They promised you that you would have exemptions or that you would not have to be forced to receive the vaccine. You know this wasn't a problem. Before the season started, this was not something I foresaw when I prepared. and, you know, I had the opportunity to strategize what would be best for me and my family, but looking at a much broader scope of this online, selecting Kyrie not to be a part-time player was much more damaging for the team than I think a lot of people were willing to admit at the time because, like I said before, this was already a pretty thin team that became even more reliant on its star-caliber players that just lost one of its stars. and another.

James Harden just finished playing after a season-ending hamstring injury during the playoffs, so he wasn't sure if he was going to turn 100 at the start of the season, and from the looks of it , it seemed that the latter was true. hardened in the first 10 games of the season he was a far cry from the star caliber player we once knew him, at best he was posting pedestrian numbers to make matters worse, four games later Joe Harris would deal with an injury to his back. The ankle that was originally Solo would keep him out for about a month or two, but then later in the timeline it was unfortunately revealed that he would miss the entire season, putting even more weight on Durant and Harden's shoulders. .

Now on one hand, there were still people who saw this through a more optimistic lens, the result of these factors led to Kevin Durant putting up amazing numbers while also leading the Nets to a very respectable spot in the Conference. This one, which easily made Durant a favorite in the MVP conversation. On the other hand, there were several people who were concerned about the number of minutes that Harden and Durant were logging, as both stars would have a series of games where they would put in more than 37 minutes of action game by game and unfortunately things did not improved as the season went on, there were some Nets players who missed some time, which made the burden toughening Durant even greater and when his war games were the rent and Harden wasn't playing as a cast of support running the other star was miserable and while all of this was going on, there were some reports claiming that Kyrie had little to no contact with the organization due to these factors, as well as some possible internal frustrations, sustainability issues became a lot more valid and with those racial concerns. forced the Brooklyn front office to change their mind about Kyrie and allow him to be a part-time player.

Not only is this good news because the Nets clearly needed the star-caliber player to return, but it also gave Durant an opportunity. and Harden would miss some games due to rest because they definitely needed it, unfortunately, although that ideology wouldn't last long because just 10 days after Kyrie was cleared to be a part-time player, Kevin Durant would suffer an MCL injury. . sidelined by the inevitable future, which essentially put the Nets back in the situation they were in before and one could easily argue that it's actually worse since Kyrie being a part-time player means he wasn't available to play during home games, which put even more weight on Harden's shoulders thanAt the beginning of the year and with Duran out and Kyrie part-time, the Nets began to plummet in the standings and with the weight of Hardin's responsibility of having to lead this franchise without his two teammates. -stars, it quickly manifested itself in frustration, which we now know resulted in Hardin being traded to this day, it's not 100% sure why exactly James Harden demanded to be traded, obviously, there are several rumors surrounding the internal drama , but to be quite frank, many simply don't make much sense outside of the possibility that Harden was extremely disappointed in how his Kyrie teammates in the front office handled the entire coveted mandate situation, as Hardin is rumored to have felt that his co-star should have sacrificed himself and taken the vaccine similar to what he did in the playoffs when he sacrificed his body playing with a hamstring strain and internally there seemed to have been some disagreement with Hardin and Kyrie and that disagreement was led by Kevin Durant who vehemently believes the team should support Kyrie's decision vision and that the real problem was front office executives changing their minds and a mandate that honestly just didn't make any sense and yeah I know that Harden has gone on record stating that he had no problem with Kyrie. not at all, but as we all know through James Harden's career, the story he tells in the media does not necessarily align with what actually happened in reality;

However, Brooklyn eventually traded James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers, who at the time honestly had the best trade. package to offer for Hardin, especially since he was on massive contracts and wasn't having the best season of his career, so in return, Brooklyn received Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, two first-round picks, and now-at-the-time Ben Simmons because of how poor Hardin was playing. There was still some optimism that the return Brooklyn received would be an improvement over what they had before Seth Curry was a sharpshooter who would have replaced Joe Harris in the lineup since he was out for the rest of the year.

Drummond gave them some interior size that they desperately needed and then you have Ben Simmons who was going to be able to give you some of James Harden's best play-action attributes with the way he plays while still having an Elite level impact on the side. defense of the court, but it just wasn't that simple at this point in the season that Ben Simmons had not played a single minute for the Philadelphia 76ers mainly due to some of the grievance he had with some of his teammates, coaches and members. of the front office staff in Philadelphia, but Simmons was also dealing with a nagging back injury that would later be revealed to be a little more serious than I think a lot of people anticipated and because of that injury, even when Simmons was traded to Brooklyn, he didn't play yet and I can actually tell you a little bit.

Simmons doesn't play at all for the rest of the season, including the playoffs, so yeah, looking back at this trade, it definitely wasn't that favorable for Brooklyn at all, so Kyrie was just a part-time player, Kevin Durant was still trying to return from an MCL injury and Ben Simmons wasn't playing at all to gain what the Nets were achieving before the toughened trade. It basically evaporated in early January, the Nets had a record of 23 and 12 and were at the top of the conference, but just two months later the Nets were a 500 ball club struggling to secure a playoff spot, now Durant would eventually return from his MCL.

The injuries were recorded a few minutes before the regular season concluded and New York ended the mandate, allowing Kyrie to return to being a full-time player, but unfortunately it was too late as the Brooklyn Nets ended the 2022 regular season. barely. At just a few games over 500 with the seventh seed they were able to beat Cleveland in a play in tournament that secured them a playoff spot, but in the playoffs it became very clear that a team that had aspirations of winning a championship was a long way off. to bat. the mark When Brooklyn was swept in the first round by the Boston Celtics and in the process, the star-studded offensive duo struggled tremendously to be consistent across all four games, which more or less brings us to where we are today in the early stages In the offseason, Kyrie sat down in the front office to discuss a contract extension.

Now, normally, a player of Tyrese's caliber would definitely receive a fully guaranteed Max contract, however, with the amount of games Kyrie has missed over the past three years, as well as a few games out. — judicial disagreements that might have left some executive at South's Brooklyn headquarters a little uncomfortable. Brooklyn believed they had found a middle ground by giving Kyrie a Max contract, but it was only going to be fully guaranteed if he met certain contingencies in response. Kyrie rejected the contract. In some rumors, the offer went so far as to say that he considered it disrespectful and that it undermined his talent as a basketball player because of this, Kyrie would hit the open market, hopefully finding a suitor so he could gain leverage in the negotiations between the Brooklyn Nets and himself. but unfortunately he didn't, leaving him no choice but to opt out of the final year of his contract and become a free agent the following offseason and with the potential result of Kyrie no longer being a Brooklyn Net within a year. .

At the time, the pandemonium hit the Brooklyn Nets fan base pretty hard, but it hit even harder just a few days later once Kevin Durant officially requested to be traded from the team, so yeah, the Berkeley Nets base we went from a title-contending team to a possible complete rebuild within. In a matter of eight months, you may be wondering what exactly is going on today and honestly, I don't even know that the NBA world is frozen while we all wait, whether it's a problem or a fake bomb, for you to update us with information credible about Kevin.

Durant trades and honestly, in the last month there has been nothing urgent, trade rumors, asset management and a ton of false reports that have left many people like me believing that Kevin Durant is most likely still a Brooklyn Net at first. of this upcoming season and also for people wondering why exactly Kevin Durant made this trade so far, it's a lot of speculation, a lot of people believe he made the formal requests just to help Kyrie get some leverage and contract negotiations later. in the future, while on the other hand, many people like me believe that Kevin Durant is not sold on the idea that the Brooklyn Nets can really compete for a championship and really looks at their chances of competing for a title through a critical lens and they have done it.

He's more or less concluded that he may have made a huge mistake and just wants to get ahead of everything before it falls apart, but regardless of what happens, it's undeniable that the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving era in Brooklyn has failed miserably. anyway. With all the information you've gathered in this video, let me know why you think Kevin Durant is requesting a trade out of Brooklyn and hopefully we can get more news on this at the end of the week once that happens.
