Brian Lewis on Sunday tries his hand at ranking where the Nets 2022 off-season debacle ranks among NBA’s historic failures or as he puts it, “whether the failure will be historic or just plain horrible.”
The standard is high. Lewis ranks the top 10 “organizational failures,” starting with the St. Louis Hawks trading Bill Russell to the Boston Celtics in 1956 up the potential (and likely) loss of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving 66 years later.
This is going to end up as a catastrophic failure by management, a stinging disappointment from which it may take years to recover.
