The Brooklyn Nets were not supposed to be here. They weren’t supposed to be at home with their families watching the NBA playoffs yet.

Heading into 2021-22, they were supposed to be still participating in them at this point. Instead, they’ll watch another team hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

They’ll have to make some minor adjustments this summer. At the very least.

Realistically, that’s as far as they’ll go. On the other hand, every summer brings a shocking development in the NBA. What if the Nets did something more drastic?

Trading Kevin Durant would certainly count. In fact, it would break the internet. That’s because it’s so improbable that it borders on unrealistic.

That’s exactly what makes it fun to think about! On the remote chance the Nets shop Durant this summer, here are three crazy trade ideas for their front office.
