And now, a fan rant...
Whenever we see or hear or read about trade scenarios for Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, we wonder who the audience is. There is a lot of discussion about how it will affect the players, management and ownership with deep dives into questions re luxury tax implications, the effect on the next CBA and the dreaded designated rookie extension.
That’s nice but what about the fans? There’s been virtually no discussion, other than by fans themselves on social media, re the effect the impending departure of two of the biggest stars in team history will have on the fans, the men, women and children who are the soul of the machine, who have bought a ticket (if they can afford to), worn a Nets jersey or cheered from the stands or the couch.
