Embarrassment loomed over the Brooklyn Nets after their playoff disaster this season. With the powerful duo of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving set to go off, the Boston Celtics however, blew them away. Now, Irving’s situation is growing worse by the day with teams fighting to acquire him.

At this time, Durant would likely be active in finding the right pieces. However, the story couldn’t be any more different. Only a few seasons back. Brooklyn looked like the biggest powerhouse in basketball. The Slim Reaper and KAI shocked everyone as they joined forces together.

And if that wasn’t enough, even former MVP James Harden came in the next season. The Nets were at a high and had all the tools needed to win. But good things don’t last long, and the Nets’ luck ran out. The Beard went his way and joined Joel Embiid at the Philadelphia 76ers.
