Nets snap eleven game losing streak with new crew

The Nets made this season’s trade deadline one of the wildest ones in recent times. After just 13 months of forming an offensive powerhouse, they traded away a big part in James Harden to Philadelphia. While they still aren’t at full power, the Brooklyn side saw a fresh bit of positive in a long time as they grabbed a win against the Kings.

After the game, Seth Curry spoke about the team and how they will be dangerous when healthy. He said, “There’s so much to be excited about. We got a lot of talent. When those three guys who are out tonight… I mean great players…We’re gonna be a tough team to beat down the stretch.”

Seth sure had a great point as Simmons and Durant will add serious depth into this lineup. They already have some capable scorers, and adding one of the best makes it all the more daunting. Moreover, with Simmons’ defensive impact, they will restrict giving away points and become a serious threat yet again. Hence, if things work well, they have some serious potential on their hands.
