Known as a three-point weapon during his undergraduate years at the University of Virginia, Harris made a small impact during his rookie campaign with the Cavs as a catch-and-shoot threat on the wing. He only ended up playing in five games with Cleveland during the 2015-16 season after undergoing surgery to remove an extra bone in his right foot.</p><p>Once his two years with Cleveland were over, Harris agreed to a contract with the Nets, the team he really left his mark on. Immediately, Harris was utilized as the Nets’ best three-point shooting option, as head coach Kenny Atkinson immediately looked to Harris to be a spark of scoring on the perimeter.</p><p>In a total of seven seasons with the Nets, Harris averaged 11.6 points and 3.4 rebounds per game while shooting 48.3 percent from the floor and 44.0 percent from three-point range. The perimeter specialist shot under 40 percent just once during his time in Brooklyn.</p><p>It is also worth noting that Harris led the league in three-point shooting on two different occasions. He did so during the 2018-19 season after shooting 47.4 percent from three-point range, and Harris sat at the top of the league in this category once again during the 2020-21 season with a 47.5 three-point percentage.</p><p>Unfortunately for Harris, he suffered a left ankle injury during the 2021-22 season that required two different surgeries. The veteran was never the same after this injury, which is why the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-joe-harris-pistons-trade">Nets ultimately traded him</a> ahead of the start of the 2023-24 season to the Detroit Pistons.</p><p>This past year, which turned out to be his final NBA season, Harris played in 16 total games, averaging 2.4 points per game and shooting 33.3 percent from three-point range. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-waive-joe-harris-after-trading-away-bojan-bogdanovic-alec-burks">Pistons waived Harris</a> after failing to move the veteran at the trade deadline.</p><p>Over the course of his career, Harris made 1,026 three-pointers. He holds the record for the highest three-point shooting percentage (43.6 percent) by a player with at least 1,000 career made threes. Harris also retires as the best three-point shooter in Nets history.</p><p>The NBA’s 2019 Three-Point Contest champion will always be remembered for his shooting skills from the perimeter, and Nets fans will always remember him for helping lead the organization into a new era after the disastrous Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce trade.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-bojan-bogdanovic-alec-burks-pistons-trade-deadline-deal" rel="noopener">Pistons</a> also made a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, acquiring Danuel House and a 2024 second-round pick.</p><p>With the players the Pistons have brought in, it makes sense to waive a veteran like Joe Harris, who has only played 16 games, averaging 2.4 points, 0.8. rebounds and 0.6 assists in those games this season for the Pistons.</p><p>Harris is a veteran and could possibly now land with a team that is trying to win, rather than a rebuilding team like the Pistons this season. It will be interesting to see where he lands, and if he can catch on in a contending team’s rotation.</p><p>The Pistons are clearly trying to make the most of this deadline. The deal with the Knicks makes a lot of sense, acquiring a young player who has potential to be a good three-and-d player like Quentin Grimes fits the direction of the team. The same goes for getting some second-round picks.</p><p>As the Pistons sit with the worst record in the NBA, they are trying to acquire some young talent and assets to build for the future. Killian Hayes still is on the roster and is someone who could be moved before the NBA Trade Deadline. It will be worth monitoring his status before 3 p.m. ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And while his numbers have improved over the last few weeks compared to his first 20 games with the Dubs this campaign, he’s still not as effective as he used to be.</p><p>During his prime years, Thompson is one of the better two-way players in the NBA. His ability to quickly get hot from deep made him a dangerous player, and his defense made him a bigger headache for opponents. While Thompson remains a solid 3-point shooter, Simmons claimed that’s all he is right now–highlighting that he has lost a step in all aspects of his game.</p><p>Simmons even <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-badass-knicks-purdy-on-trial-lamar-vs-mahomes/id1043699613?i=1000643039685" rel="noopener">went as far as to saying</a> that Thompson is now just a Brooklyn Nets version of Joe Harris for the Warriors, someone whose role is to just shoot triples. Mahoney did defend Thompson, but Simmons was insistent on his comparison.</p><p>Here’s how their conversation went:</p><blockquote>Bill Simmons: He’s basically Nets Joe Harris at this point.Rob Mahoney: That’s harsh.Bill Simmons: but that’s who he is, he’s a, you know, good 3 point shooter.Rob Mahoney: I don’t know if I’ve seen Joe Harris hit a 3 pointer in the playoffs in my life. So until that happens I’ll give Klay a slight edge.Bill Simmons: True, I’m just saying the theory of Joe Harris.</blockquote><p>Klay Thompson is averaging 17.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists this season. He’s shooting 42.3 percent overall and 38.7 percent from deep. For what it’s worth, it’s only the second time in his career that Thompson has shot below 40 percent–with the first one being in 2021-22 when he returned from a two-year absence due to injury.</p><p>It’s also the third-lowest scoring output from Thompson in his career, as his 17.4 points is just better than his averages in his first two years in the NBA.</p><p>True enough, Thompson has massively regressed. Along with it, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-stephen-curry-frustrated-with-season-draymond-green" rel="noopener">Warriors have also struggled</a> to compete among the top dogs in the conference.</p><p>What Bill Simmons said is a little harsh, though. After all, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-klay-thompsons-grateful-admission-after-latest-feat-with-stephen-curry-draymond-green" rel="noopener">Thompson has already proven himself</a> to be a performer on the big stage.

Detroit will receive a 2027 second-round pick via the Dallas Mavericks and a 2029 second-round pick via the Milwaukee Bucks.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-key-nets-free-agent-cam-johnson-emerging-as-pistons-no-1-target/" rel="noopener">Pistons were viewed</a> as Brooklyn’s most significant threat to sign Cam Johnson in restricted free agency. Their decision to absorb Harris’ $20 million expiring salary eliminates them from the Johnson sweepstakes while offering Brooklyn immense flexibility moving forward. The Nets can now re-sign Johnson while staying under the luxury tax, opening up the full $12.4 million mid-level exception to use in free agency. The deal also opens a $19.9 million traded player exception.</p><p>Brooklyn now has $131.5 million in committed salaries. With the luxury tax set at $165 million, the Nets have over $33 million to re-sign Cam Johnson and acquire other players via trade or free agency.</p><p>Harris, Brooklyn’s longest-tenured player, spent the last seven seasons with the team. During that time, he emerged as one of the league’s top shooters, converting 42 percent or more of his triples in each of the last six seasons. However, he struggled to regain his form last season after a pair of ankle surgeries sidelined him for the majority of 2021-22.</p><p>As free agency approaches, Brooklyn will continue to be active in the trade market. General manager Sean Marks <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-nets-dorian-finney-smith-royce-oneale-trade-asking-price-comes-into-focus/" rel="noopener">has been fielding calls</a> for Royce O’Neale and Dorian Finney-Smith, reportedly seeking a first-round pick for O’Neale and a pick and a player for Finney Smith. Patty Mills’ $6.8 million expiring salary could also be used in a cost-shedding move to offer the Nets further flexibility in the trade/free agent market.</p><h2><b>Trade Grade: A</b></h2><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As a result of trading him to the Pistons, the Nets will create a a $19.9M Traded Player Exception and the flexibility to make more deals when free agency begins.</p><p>Playing in just 14 games during the 2021-22 season due to a foot injury, Harris came back and appeared in 74 total games for the Nets during the 2022-23 season. He averaged 7.6 points and 2.2 rebounds per game while shooting 42.6 percent from three-point range, all of which were career-lows with the Nets since the 2016-17 season, his first year in Brooklyn.</p><p>Known to be one of the better three-point shooters in the league through the years, Harris led the NBA in three-point shooting percentage in 2019 and 2021, shooting above 47 percent both seasons. Harris currently resides fourth on the NBA’s all-time three-point shooting percentage list at 43.7 percent for his career.</p><p>The Pistons had been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-key-nets-free-agent-cam-johnson-emerging-as-pistons-no-1-target" rel="noopener">rumored</a> to have interest in restricted free agent Cameron Johnson for quite some time and were prepared to give him an offer sheet when free agency opened up on Friday. Even though the Nets were expected to bring Johnson back, there is a strong sense that he has a deal lined up with Brooklyn to return on a new long-term contract after they moved on from Harris.</p><p>Looking to make moves to cut overall costs and open up some cap flexibility with Johnson’s expected contract, the Nets now move on from Harris after he spent seven seasons with the franchise.</p><p>For Detroit, their offseason has been highlighted by Monty Williams taking over the reins on the sideline, as well as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ausar-thompson-pistons-no-5-pick-2023-nba-draft" rel="noopener">Ausar Thompson</a>, the No. 5 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, joining their young, dynamic roster.

He has been able to shine on the Brooklyn Nets, though.</p><p>The 26-year-old has reinvented himself since being traded to the Nets on Feb. 9, becoming more of a versatile scorer who can attack the basket to great effect. He got back to his 3-point roots in Tuesday’s 118-96 road win over the Houston Rockets, going 4-of-10 from downtown en route to a 30-point night.</p><p>As the big games keep piling up, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to pigeonhole Bridges as a specialist.

Offensively, he can definitely carry the load for us, but he always makes the right play, though, too.”</p><p>The Mike Trout level of praise doled out to Bridges should not be taken lightly, nor should it be scoffed at. He as averaged over 26 points in his 10 games with the Nets, scoring 30 or more five times. After some massive growing pains for the team post Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, Bridges has helped lead Brooklyn to a three-game winning streak.</p><p>They are just one game behind the New York Knicks for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Bridges gives hope that the Nets will not just be an afterthought come the playoffs. A few seasons ago they possessed a similar, young and gritty identity. With him leading the way, Jacque Vaughn may have an even upgraded version of that group in the near future.</p><p>Trout caught the MLB by storm over a decade ago and hasn’t looked back. Bridges has now announced his stardom and is intent on remaining a top option long-term.</p><p>Brooklyn’s success may depend on it.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After a slow start while returning from offseason ankle surgery, Harris had begun to resemble his old self during 10 appearances prior to being sidelined. The veteran averaged 11.1 points on 54.7 percent shooting from the field and 51.1 percent from 3-point range during that span.</p><p>The seventh-year Net has been among the NBA’s most consistent floor spacers in recent years, shooting 45.0 percent from 3-point land on 5.5 attempts per game over his last five seasons. Royce O’Neale, Yuta Watanabe and T.J. Warren have stepped up from behind the arc with Harris sidelined.

Follow on Twitter below.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Editorials</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Brooklyn Nets have surged to fourth place in the Eastern Conference after winning 10 of their last 13 games. The recent hot stretch has the Nets positioned as a potential buyer ahead of Dec. 15, when 74 players who signed new contracts this offseason become trade-eligible.</p><p>Brooklyn has reportedly already begun its search to upgrade the roster. Shams Charania mentioned the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-john-collins-trade-market-highlighted-by-4-teams" rel="noopener">Nets as one of four teams</a> in contact with the Atlanta Hawks surrounding forward John Collins. General manager Sean Marks appears to be dangling sharpshooter Joe Harris in negotiations.</p><p>“Atlanta has not shown interest so far in a potential framework that would contain Brooklyn’s Joe Harris,” Charania said, <a href="https://theathletic.com/3992371/2022/12/12/bojan-bogdanovic-jae-crowder-shams-charania-inside-pass/" rel="noopener">citing unnamed sources.</a></p><p>Harris is widely viewed as the Nets’ top trade chip due to his $18.6 million salary and high-level shooting. Collins is in his sixth year with the Hawks. The 25-year-old has been mentioned in trade rumors dating back to the beginning of last season. While Collins would present an influx of youth to Brooklyn’s thin frontcourt, Marks and Co. would be wise to hold off on dealing Harris for the big man.</p><p>In theory, John Collins presents a stretch big alongside Ben Simmons. However, the 6-foot-9 forward is shooting a career-low 21.9 percent from 3-point range this season and does not offer the interior presence of a traditional big. A Harris-Collins swap would significantly limit Brooklyn’s shooting surrounding Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Harris has been on a tear after snapping out of an early funk, shooting 15-of-24 (62.5 percent) from deep over his last five games.</p><p>The seventh-year Net has also made significant strides defensively this season, frequently challenging ball handlers in the pick-and-roll while challenging bigger wings in the post. Replacing Harris with Collins, who struggles to defend in space, would further limit Brooklyn’s already abysmal point-of-attack defense moving forward.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Joe Harris' defense was phenomenal all night. This is a game-winning sequence in a massive spot. Absolutely locked up Haliburton off the switch.</p><p>KD spoke of the need for individual accountability on defense following Saturday's loss.

Seth Curry, Brooklyn’s other 3-point sniper, struggles to defend bigger bodies at 6-foot-2. Curry was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-celtics-put-brooklyn-on-notice-as-defense-overwhelms-supporting-cast-in-loss" rel="noopener">played off the floor</a> in a recent loss to Boston, similar to the first round of last year’s playoffs. Patty Mills has similar deficiencies and has fallen out of the rotation this season.</p><p>Royce O’Neale is shooting a career-best 40.7 percent from 3-point land this season but has hit a wall in recent weeks. Over his last seven games, O’Neale has shot 15-of-53 (28.3 percent) from the field and 10-of-34 (29.4 percent) from long range. While the first-year Net has offered an early lift, he does not possess Harris’ movement shooting ability and has never attempted more than 4.0 triples per game in his career.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">17 PTS | 5 3PM (season-high) </p><p>JO3 got buckets 🎯 <a href="https://t.co/stdultlNEN">pic.twitter.com/stdultlNEN</a></p><p>— Brooklyn Nets (@BrooklynNets) <a href="https://twitter.com/BrooklynNets/status/1599093607973019648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 3, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Nets have a massive need for high-level spacing alongside Ben Simmons and Nic Claxton. All of this makes Harris’ movement shooting and competent defense on the wing an important piece of Brooklyn’s rotation moving forward. Replacing that with an undersized big man who is struggling from 3-point distance and cannot defend in space feels like an overcorrection to the team’s lack of depth in the frontcourt.</p><p>Brooklyn would also have to attach an additional piece to Harris, along with a potential draft pick, to match salary in a deal for Collins. Second-year guard Cam Thomas has frequently been mentioned in trade scenarios.</p><p>This is not to say Collins could not help Brooklyn this season. The Nets could bet on the forward reverting to his 37.6 percent career 3-point shooting (2.5 attempts per game) with a change of scenery. In that case, Collins would offer a pick-and-pop option alongside Simmons, Durant and Irving, as well as a lob threat using his above-average athleticism.</p><p>Defensively, Collins could match up with big men, allowing Simmons to defend on the perimeter where he is at his best. The 2017 first-round pick would also provide a boost to Brooklyn’s lackluster rebounding (28th in the league). Collins has averaged 8.3 rebounds per game for his career.</p><p>It is also not to say that Joe Harris shouldn’t be moved. The 31-year-old is coming off two ankle surgeries and has well-documented struggles in the postseason. Packaging the veteran remains Brooklyn’s most realistic avenue to landing a significant piece.</p><p>Several teams such as Charlotte, San Antonio, Orlando and Utah are expected to sell at the deadline to boost their odds in the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes.

His passion lies in all things NBA and he has a knack for speaking his mind in his articles -- even when at times it gets him into trouble with the fans. Controversial? Maybe. Excellent writer? Definitely.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>It’s hard to deny that the Brooklyn Nets have been the most drama-filled team in the entire NBA over the past few months. Their troubles extend all the way back to the offseason when Kevin Durant demanded — and later on retracted — a trade away from the team. Right now, though, it’s Kyrie Irving and his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-nbpa-could-take-action-if-kyrie-irving-brooklyn-fail-to-reach-agreement-on-return" rel="noopener">antisemitic scandal</a> that has brought about a lot of unwanted stress within the team.</p><p>For his part, veteran sharpshooter Joe Harris just wants to remain positive amid all the team’s problems. According to the 31-year-old, the most important thing for the team right now is to come together as a group and make sure that they are all on the same page:</p><p>“Sometimes you fake it until you make it, but you gotta have energy when you play and throughout the course of the season, otherwise it makes it really tough,” Harris said. “And, you know, we just kinda collectively talk about it as a group just making sure that everybody’s bringing energy and the right sort of energy, too. It’s easy to go the opposite direction and not enjoy it.”</p><p>What matters most is that the Nets perform on the basketball court — be it with or without Kyrie Irving. Harris also admitted that this has been an issue for the team, but that they’re all doing whatever they can to pull through this mess:</p><p>“… We got a new group, a lot of guys are unfamiliar playing with each other,” Harris said. “You might know each other off the court, but playing together is different. Especially with some of the experiences that we’ve had here early on, it can affect the energy of the group. Whether you admit it or not. So it’s all just trying to be positive with one another and just try to make sure everybody’s enjoying playing. That’s why we play basketball. We love it.”</p><p>Harris ended by delivering a somewhat cryptic message about the harsh reality the Nets are living in right now:</p><p>“So if you’re not <i>liking </i>it, it makes it really hard when you play 82 times a year,” Harris said with a smile.</p><p>It is currently unclear when Kyrie Irving will be reinstated from his team-issued suspension. Until then, however, the rest of the team will have no choice but to just carry on without him.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Harris is dealing with soreness in the same foot as his surgically repaired ankle.</p><p>“I am going to play tonight,” Harris said at shootaround Friday, via <a href="https://twitter.com/CMilholenSB/status/1583473921097023490">Chris Milholen</a>. “I’m excited. I wanted to try and play the first game but just wasn’t quite where I was supposed to be performing — needed just a little bit more time, but I feel good right now and I’m excited to play tonight.”</p><p>The 31-year-old played in just 14 games last season before undergoing a pair of surgeries on his ankle. Entering his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-joe-harris-reveals-important-change-of-focus-for-2022-23-season/">seventh season with Brooklyn</a>, Harris has emerged as one of the NBA’s top floor spacers during his time with the Nets. The sharpshooter led the league in three-point shooting in 2020-21, converting at a 47.5% clip on 6.4 attempts per game, both career-highs.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">With this shot, Joe Harris became the <a href="https://twitter.com/BrooklynNets?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrooklynNets</a> all-time leader in threes made, passing Jason Kidd! <a href="https://t.co/EqrblSx8z4">pic.twitter.com/EqrblSx8z4</a></p><p>— NBA (@NBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1453526802861903875?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 28, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Head coach Steve Nash has said holding Harris out was “precautionary” with the team aiming to ensure the guard doesn’t suffer a major setback early in the season. Harris said Friday that Brooklyn’s performance team has taken a conservative approach with the soreness in his foot.</p><p>“It’s just soreness in my forefoot, a little bit of swelling, soreness, and that’s it,” Harris said. “It was just conservative. I mean, I’m coming off reconstructive (ankle) surgery. I had a bunch of spurs taken off my navicular. So its just our performance team has just been a little conservative.”</p><p>The Nets were without their two best shooters in Harris and Seth Curry during the loss to New Orleans. Curry also underwent ankle surgery this offseason and has yet to be cleared. Both fill an important need as elite floor-spacers alongside non-shooters in Ben Simmons and Nic Claxton.</p><p>Brooklyn’s lack of spacing against the Pelicans was evident. The Nets shot 10-of-33 from three as New Orleans packed the paint and closed off driving lanes. Harris’ return should provide a major boost in that regard. The former three-point champion’s ability to shoot off movement offers Brooklyn greater flexibility in what they can run offensively.</p><p>“It’s obviously going to open up the floor,” Nets guard Patty Mills said of Harris’ return, via <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34846200/nets-guard-joe-harris-make-season-debut-friday-vs-raptors">Nick Friedell</a>. “Give driving lane opportunities for our main guys. But I think just for him, I think seeing what he went through last year and being close to him, it’s almost like a feel-good thing to have him back out there in a regular-season game again. I know he’s been through a lot; he’s handled it like an absolute champ, so hopefully he can stay healthy, we can keep him out there.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Joe Harris went 6-of-7 from three last night.</p><p>That's it.

Joe Harris played just 14 games before a pair of ankle surgeries ended his year. And Kevin Durant missed extended time with an MCL sprain.</p><p>But at Day 2 of Nets training camp, Harris said the team may have lacked focus early last regular season. The seventh-year Net said he felt the team was looking forward to the playoffs last year following a heartbreaking second-round loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2021 postseason.</p><p>“I think last season we had such high expectations for ourselves that we kind of looked to the playoffs, even in the beginning of the season,” Harris said. “It felt like some of the games early on we would win games but we felt we weren’t winning by enough or we weren’t at the championship caliber that we had as expectations for ourselves.”</p><p>“I think it was just a little bit more of looking down the road and feeling the loss from the prior year in the playoffs,” he continued. “Wanting to get back to that point in the playoffs and maybe looking past some of the games that we had in the early season, instead of just being as attentive and focus on the present.”</p><p>The Nets spent 2021 training camp in San Diego. The team transitioned back to Brooklyn for camp this season and Harris said there is a different feeling training at home.</p><p>“Last year we were in San Diego so we were almost like a little bit on vacation,” he said. “A lot of the guys got tee times set up. Today, you know, we’re kind of finding our groove and a little bit more like what our offseason work was because we had a lot of guys who were in the practice facility all summer long. It’s just pretty consistent easy carryover from there.”</p><p>The Nets have several new faces at training camp this year. Ben Simmons, Royce O’Neale, and Markieff Morris headline the list as veterans in their first camp with Brooklyn. Harris said the focus this year is on <a href="https://twitter.com/BrooklynNets/status/1575155319650635781?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1575155319650635781%7Ctwgr%5E9bdeac7ee43f410474f36095c8529ab7a71fc20b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D1849176action%3Dedit">building a foundation one day at a time.</a></p><p>“I know it’s sort of the cliche for everybody in sports, but it’s definitely one of the things that it’s a lot harder to do than you realize,” he said. “So I think it’s something that we’re just trying to be really cognizant of where everybody’s focused on— we’re having a good second day of training camp, and then tomorrow, we’ll have another good day, and we’ll just keep having these building blocks that we’ll build off of, but we’re not trying to look too far ahead.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Set the tone. <a href="https://t.co/smuhTJ3cqy">pic.twitter.com/smuhTJ3cqy</a></p><p>— Brooklyn Nets (@BrooklynNets) <a href="https://twitter.com/BrooklynNets/status/1575155319650635781?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 28, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>This is in line with what Kevin Durant spoke of Monday at Nets media day. After requesting a trade this offseason, the 12-time All-Star said that he wanted everyone to be held accountable for their habits as basketball players, something he felt was swept under the rug amid struggles last season. In Durant’s eyes, that consistency is key in developing the championship qualities Brooklyn lacked last year.</p><p>“I was more so worried about how we were approaching every day as a basketball team,” Kevin Durant said at Media Day. “I felt like we could’ve fought through a lot of the stuff that I felt held us back. Championship teams do that.”</p><p>Now, with Durant, Irving, and Simmons committed to Brooklyn, the team needs to be more heavily invested in the regular season if they hope to contend. The Nets have too often overlooked the importance of building chemistry and camaraderie during that time throughout Durant and Irving’s tenure.</p><p>Last season, the team’s lack of cohesion and trust in one another ultimately proved detrimental come playoff time. The Nets fielded 43 different starting lineups in 2021-22. That was the most in the league and nearly double the average among playoff teams (24). This year, Harris said there is a noticeable emphasis on building a strong foundation early.</p><p>“When you think about championship teams, if you come in and you watch a practice, a lot of times you can feel it just because you know how attentive guys are, how focused they are, how locked in every practice is,” he said. “You feel the importance of it every day.”</p><p>Head Coach Steve Nash said the new-look Nets are still getting to know each other, but he was happy with the intensity and focus during day 2 of camp.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Heard you were looking for some practice footage… <a href="https://t.co/4OSH6cgD4c">pic.twitter.com/4OSH6cgD4c</a></p><p>— Brooklyn Nets (@BrooklynNets) <a href="https://twitter.com/BrooklynNets/status/1575225081319464960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 28, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“It was good,” Nash said. “There’s a lot of new guys trying to fit together. So there’s going to be a little bit of a period where were you trying to clean some stuff up here. But that’s very natural and normal. Overall I thought guys were really intense and trying to work on the things we implemented; so it was a great day.”</p><p>The Nets have just four days until their first preseason game against the 76ers on Oct. 3. And, in line with his comments on the team’s shift in focus, Harris said Brooklyn won’t take preseason action for granted.</p><p>“And that’s going to be the same thing for preseason games,” Harris said. “You’re not gonna take these preseason games for granted, regardless of how much time guys are playing, wherever we’re at. The whole focus is just alright, how do we get better today? And then just building off of that.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But there are just thousands of different ways this can play out,” a source told the post.</blockquote><p>Now this bit is interesting since just over the weekend, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports noted that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-the-major-stumbling-blocks-in-kyrie-irving-russell-westbrook-trade-talks/" rel="noopener">Nets want to include Joe Harris</a> in the deal alongside Kyrie Irving.
