As you may have heard, the Brooklyn Nets signed Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. (Also DeAndre Jordan, who is a bum, but he’s good friends with KD and Kyrie so it works out.) (Also Garrett Temple, which is a good signing, but you’re not here to read about Garrett Temple.) To make those moves, they had sign-and-trade D’Angelo Russell (plus thicc boi Treveon Graham and Shabazz Napier) and let Ed Davis walk.
Spencer Dinwiddie is in a brand new situation, but it’s not that much different. The Nets were a fun, upstart team that valued culture and hard work above all.
