The 153 (!) points they surrendered to the Kings (!) on Tuesday was a franchise-worst for a regulation <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>. The plan built around Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving is not working. The pieces around those stars \u2014 most notably a purported alleged fellow star in Ben Simmons \u2014 have come up much too short.<\/p>\n<p>There is a large segment of the fan base that \u2014 three years and just one playoff <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> victory after signing Durant and Irving \u2014 is in favor of blowing up this experiment. Or, returning to the previous metaphor, hitting the brakes on attempting to contend and trading trains for tanks. The Nets are not winning with a peak Durant. Irving is suspended. Simmons might as well be. This is the time to accept defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Except there would be no worse time to accept defeat.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest problem the Nets face right now is the mounting losses. The second-biggest problem is the fact that each negative development around the team has dented trade values. If the Nets began selling now, they would be giving away pieces rather than recouping assets. (A future problem could be rebuilding a team that has dealt away so many draft picks to assemble this team.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/20221101_NetsBulls044CS-1-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (11) reacts in the second half against the Chicago Bulls at Barclays Center, Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2022, in Brooklyn, NY. \" class=\"wp-image-24609553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/20221101_NetsBulls044CS-1-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/20221101_NetsBulls044CS-1-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1000 1000w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/20221101_NetsBulls044CS-1-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><figcaption>Kyrie Irving\u2019s $36 million salary, coupled with his reluctant apology for tweeting out a link to an anti-Semitic movie, makes a midseason trade nearly impossible.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Corey Sipkin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with Irving because he is where the Nets\u2019 problems have started. The all-world point guard probably has the best handle in the NBA and is wondrous around the hoop, but he has not stepped on the court since Nov. 1. The anti-Semitism saga has forced Irving to miss eight straight games (counting Thursday night\u2019s matchup in Portland), unable to return until he completes a set of self-betterment and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arent image-cleansing tasks. There is a chance he returns to work Sunday at Barclays Center against the Grizzlies.<\/p>\n<p>Would any team want a point guard making $36 million this season and fresh off a national controversy in which he shared a movie, on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a>, that contains anti-Semitic tropes and initially refused to apologize? Would the Lakers \u2014 3-10 and already fading from relevance \u2014 mortgage what\u2019s left of their future for this kind of risk?<\/p>\n<p>If Irving\u2019s off-court actions have demolished his value, Simmons\u2019 on-court inaction has drained his. Simmons \u2014 the main prize brought back in the trade of James Harden, who was enjoying a strong season with Philadelphia before suffering a foot injury \u2014 has been a different kind of disaster. The former No. 1 pick began this season as the starting point guard and now is the backup center. He has returned to the court after a season off, but any trace of aggression has vanished.<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old played his best game of the season Tuesday, when he finished with 11 points, five rebounds and three assists. In Simmons\u2019 second NBA season, with the 76ers in 2018-19, he averaged 16.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 7.7 assists.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/ben-simmons-post.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Ben Simmons #10 of the Brooklyn Nets dribbles the ball during the game against the Indiana Pacers on October 29, 2022 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.\" class=\"wp-image-24683769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/ben-simmons-post.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1800 1800w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/ben-simmons-post.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=900 900w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/ben-simmons-post.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\"\/><figcaption>Ben Simmons\u2019 numbers have plunged and his role has been reduced as he continues to appear passive on the court.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NBAE via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>This version of Simmons has been hard to watch and would be easier to trade, but the Nets cannot expect anything close to peak value if they ship him out.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets could trade the sixth-best 3-point shooter, by percentage, ever \u2014 except Joe Harris entered NBA play Wednesday as the 118th-best 3-point shooter <em>this season<\/em>. Harris, in his first season back from an ankle injury that wrecked his 2021-22 campaign, has knocked down just 33 percent of his treys. If Harris is not hitting 3s, he does not have other means to contribute.<\/p>\n<p>The small forward has played just 13 games since the injury, and it can take time to find proper timing and the right release point. But if the Nets want to net a nice return on a player owed $18 million this season and $19 million next season, they would be better off waiting until Harris gets hot and resembles the marksman he has been for most of his career in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p>Virtually the same can be said for Seth Curry, the third-best 3-point shooter ever by percentage \u2014 and a player who would have entered Wednesday 37th-best this season if he had enough attempts to qualify. Curry has played in just six games because of his own ankle issue that is keeping him out of back-to-backs and has severely limited his playing time. Would a contender give up more for Curry right now or in a couple months, when the Nets hope he is healthy and draining shots from beyond the arc?<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/seth-curry1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Seth Curry #30 of the Brooklyn Nets shoots a three point basket during the game against the LA Clippers on November 12, 2022 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.\" class=\"wp-image-24683804\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/seth-curry1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1800 1800w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/seth-curry1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=900 900w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/seth-curry1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\"\/><figcaption>Seth Curry\u2019s 3-point shooting could make him an attractive trade chip, once he has fully recovered from an ankle surgery he had in the spring.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NBAE via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>And then there is Kevin Durant, who \u2014 at 34 \u2014 might be having his best season in a career that has included two championships, two Finals MVPs and 12 All-Star Games. He is making a case for his second regular-season MVP and somehow cranking up his efficiency (up to 57.7 percent on 2s) while averaging 30.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.<\/p>\n<p>But not even one of the best to ever do it can do it alone \u2014 a fact he acknowledges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at our starting lineup,\u201d Durant <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/10055867-br-exclusive-kevin-durant-explains-trade-request-coaching-frustrations-and-more\">told Bleacher Report on Tuesday<\/a>. \u201cEdmond Sumner, Royce O\u2019Neale, Joe Harris, [Nic] Claxton and me. It\u2019s not disrespect, but what are you expecting from that group?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, yes: The Nets could trade him now and fulfill his offseason request. But they never would be able to maximize his value \u2014 another fact he acknowledges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I\u2019m that good that you\u2019re just not going to give me away,\u201d Durant said at Nets Media Day in September, when he explained he was not surprised he was not dealt over the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Finding matching value for Durant \u2014 signed through the 2025-26 season \u2014 is near impossible. If the Nets ship him out tomorrow or before the Feb. 9 deadline or a year from now, they probably would fetch about the same amount. A team can only trade so many draft picks.<\/p>\n<p>Who else on the Nets could be helpful for a team eyeing a title? Nic Claxton? The talented young center could appeal to plenty around the league, but he also was exploited against Domantas Sabonis on Tuesday, when the bigger big man pushed Claxton around in the paint. Claxton has room to grow \u2014 literally \u2014 and is a relatively inexpensive piece worth more to a team that can develop him, as the Nets are doing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/nic-claxton-sabonis.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Domantas Sabonis #10 of the Sacramento Kings is guarded by Nic Claxton #33 of the Brooklyn Nets at Golden 1 Center on November 15, 2022 in Sacramento, California. \" class=\"wp-image-24683912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/nic-claxton-sabonis.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1800 1800w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/nic-claxton-sabonis.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=900 900w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/nic-claxton-sabonis.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\"\/><figcaption>Though he was pushed around by Sacramento\u2019s Domantas Sabonis, Nic Claxton is the kind of young big man the Nets should want to keep and develop for their future.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>So what do the Nets do? Perhaps a small trade or a move on the periphery, but the guess here is there is no significant change on the immediate horizon.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets need to inflate their players\u2019 trade values if they want to be able to cash them in. The Nets can welcome Irving back to the team and hope for a few 30-point nights. They should resist the option of benching Simmons and allow him to play through struggles and perhaps work off the rust. They should wait for Harris\u2019 jump shot to return. Hope Curry\u2019s ankles return, too.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, maybe the Nets can conduct a fire sale to obtain rebuild-accelerating draft capital, which they are a bit short on given that the Rockets either own or can swap each Nets first-round pick through 2027 after the (first) Harden trade.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets\u2019 plan thus far has failed, but reversing course now would fail, too.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Todays_back_page\"><\/span>Today\u2019s back page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1967\" height=\"2200\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/back-page-nov17.jpg?w=916\" alt=\"The back cover of the New York Post on November 17, 2022.\" class=\"wp-image-24686061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/back-page-nov17.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1967 1967w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/back-page-nov17.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=984 983w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/back-page-nov17.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1967px) 100vw, 1967px\"\/><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfc0 Knicks finally win in Denver for second straight victory on road <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u26be Aaron Judge about to get biggest honor of his baseball career<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfc8 O\u2019CONNOR: Archie Manning makes bold Daniel Jones endorsement<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfc8 SERBY: Jets should unleash ground game versus rival Patriots<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_elephant_in_the_room\"><\/span>The elephant in the room<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As the Yankees welcomed back one difference-maker, they were reminded of another who still is not in pinstripes.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Rizzo officially was re-introduced Wednesday afternoon, when the Yankees held a Zoom conference call to celebrate their two-year deal (plus a team option) with the first baseman.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/1435671478.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Aaron Judge #99 and Anthony Rizzo #48 of the New York Yankees react after the first out was recorded against the Houston Astros during the second inning in game three of the American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium on October 22, 2022 in New York City.\" class=\"wp-image-24386033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/1435671478.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/1435671478.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1000 1000w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/1435671478.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><figcaption>Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo have a tight relationship, but whether that will extend into the Yankees dugout again next season is up to the team\u2019s star free agent.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>It took six questions for Aaron Judge\u2019s name to be heard.<\/p>\n<p>Rizzo unsurprisingly offered few hints about Judge\u2019s free agency.
