There's no more excuse for them as they have the big 3 now.
Durant, Irving, Simmons.
This big 3 is strong enough to bring this team into the championship, the only problem is their chemistry and the two superstars passion to play as they have asked to be traded, hopefully that will not affect their performance in the season to come.

Yes in papers they are big 3, but for sure you know that problem right? It's not just the chemistry but the whole attitude, Durant requested to be traded, he thinks he has in control, same with Kyrie, doesn't want to get vaccinated, the team suffers and come play-off time, this 2 disappears. The the drama queen Ben Simmons, can he still play next season? There are more questions right now in terms of the whole Nets organization, everything is not on the same page.

On paper, this team does not have any problems. But in reality, the players we call the big 3 are actually causing some problems. There is no doubt that Durant's request to be traded is the biggest problem with the team right now. A player requesting to play for another team but eventually staying is not a positive sign at all. There will be a lot of variables that might effect his gameplay after this.

It seems to me that Kyrie's problem is not that big of a deal since at least he doesn't have any problems playing for the team, doesn't he?

I bet the rest of the Brooklyn Nets roster is now having some doubts against KD as he might be not reliable enough just like the last season where he carried most of the load that made the team cross the playoffs. A player requesting a trade is really bad sign if that player still ends up playing the same team next season because the demand has not been meet by other teams and that's the situation of the Nets now.

Kyrie on the other hand doesn't have any problem at all and actually he said that he will stay and play for the Nets even if KD is not around with them anymore.

I don't think it's doubt, it's more of the team losing their trust on KD already. It's a big let down to hear from him wanting a trade or having their coach fired. And there could be more locker room drama specially if there will be close call or if they choke a game.

I'm not sure of Kyrie as well, if I'm not mistaken, I have read that the Nets are also tired of his antics. So they might as well trade him before training camp starts.

For wanting only to win to get a credits under his name that's what make them losing their trust to KD and his latest controversy what makes him a toxic to their team that's why I guess its better for their organization to let go of him and try their existing stars to make out next season or better rebuild since for sure they can get another star which can possibly fit to them in exchange with KD and irving.

That is still debatable because it really looks like Irving and Durant will wear the same jersey this upcoming season as teams in NBA will likely start their training camp by the end of this month. But I guess Irving has more chance to be traded than Durant because I remember that the Nets is interested to get Howard and the Lakers is also working to have Irving, so Howard might be included in the package with Westbrook just to get Irving.
