Kevin Durant is not necessarily known to be a great GM, but that does not prevent him from trying his hand at the exercise. The proof, in his last podcast, he has just recruited very, very heavy in Brooklyn, with the intention of building a dynasty at Barclays Center. It remains to be seen whether this cry from the heart will be heard in the Big Apple.
Before the unavailability of Kevin Durant, the Nets clearly established themselves as one of the best teams in the NBA, with an enticing game in attack and a much stronger defense than in previous years. The presence of the n°7 freed unknown players like Yuta Watanabe, and above all, it allowed Ben Simmons to find sensations without the slightest expectation around his offensive performances…
Unfortunately for Brooklyn, the All-Star’s knee injury changed the dynamic. Whether Kyrie Irving and Nicolas Claxton have never been so strong, they are a little abandoned by their teammates. The spaces are necessarily less important than with KD on the ground, which explains the drop in speed of the many triggers in the workforce, including Joe Harris…
Kevin Durant wants to create a dynasty at Liberty
The former MVP must follow the results of his team very closely, he must be impatient with the idea of returning to the courts and helping his people, but it is not his only obsession. Indeed, he also looks at what is happening at the Liberty, the other Brooklyn team, and he tried to recruit heavy for the WNBA franchise. He dreams of building a female dynasty at Barclays Center, as he explained in his podcast.
Don’t let us get Breanna Stewart back. If she comes to Brooklyn, it’s going to be anything. I contacted her last week, which I never do, to tell her that it would be an incredible dynasty in Brooklyn if she signed. She hasn’t seen the message yet but even. Leaders are on fire. They just recruited a former MVP, they have the 5th choice of the Draft…
There will be Sabrina Ionescu in the workforce… The leaders are planning something crazy, they are bringing all the best players back here to New York. If the Liberty wins a title… My god, the Barclays are going to be turned over. I can’t wait to see this. There is a good coach, the public is exceptional, all of Brooklyn is fully behind this team.
You will understand, Kevin Durant does not recruit for the Nets, he cannot with the rules against “tampering”, but for the Liberty. He dreams of seeing Breanna Stewart land, the best player on the planet, to bring back a title at the Barclays Center. He is regularly present in the front row for meetings, so we understand his commitment.
What if the Barclays Center became the world center for basketball in spring and summer? If the Liberty succeeds in attracting Breanna Stewart, the WNBA franchise could well go for the title. And if Kevin Durant returns well, the Nets could have the same ambition.
