This is, as every Nets fan knows, the off-season of if’s. IF Kevin Durant wants to run it back. IF the Nets want to keep Kyrie Irving. IF Ben Simmons is both happy and healthy. IF Joe Harris can return to form after two ankle surgeries. IF, IF, IF...
But the other big IF, as Brian Lewis wrote Saturday, is how much T.J. Warren will mean to the Nets ... IF he is healthy. Warren was signed to a one-year, vets minimum deal in the days after KD made his trade request. Add that unfortunate timing to two missed seasons due to a fractured foot and you can understand why the lack of hoopla.
