Exit Survey: 3 thoughts on the disposed Brooklyn Nets – 2. Double down on scoring

Perhaps an odd stance to take, but the Nets should try and be historically great offensively next season. After all, that was their main selling point when they brought Durant, Irving, and James Harden together. We never got to see that dream come to fruition properly, but the Nets still have some solid offensive options.

They made 36.1 percent of their attempts from deep during the regular season, good to squeak in as the 10th-best outfit in the league at doing so. They did this despite Seth Curry only coming over midseason in the Simmons deal and with Joe Harris missing much of the year with an ankle injury.

These two will be huge for the Nets moving forward. They could play both together alongside Durant, Irving, and Bruce Brown to really mess with opponents. They would be giving up some size sure, but that five could do well on both sides of the ball (Durant’s defensive reputation took a hit against the Celtics, but we know what he is capable of), especially when it comes to scoring in all manner of ways.

There are sure to be guys out there who will become available for a reasonable price as well. Terrence Ross of the Magic has spoken honestly of his desire to not go through a rebuild and join a contending team. The Magic would do right by him, he does not make a ton of money, and he would not cost a lot to obtain either.

Even if adding Ross would create too much imbalance and overload the roster with long-range bombers, the Nets can be smart here. The Utah Jazz could blow it all up if and when they exit the playoffs. The Atlanta Hawks joined the Nets on the sidelines last night, and have a whole host of intriguing young guys to enquire about. Going all-in on scoring with the way this roster is currently constructed makes sense because it was the plan all along.
