For three years, the Nets let Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving run the show in Brooklyn: Giving their friend DeAndre Jordan an oversized contract, then starting Jordan over a far superior at the time Jarrett Allen, pushing Kenny Atkinson out the door because Irving, in particular, was not a fan, trading away a container ship full of future picks to Houston for James Harden so they could have a big three, going back on their “no vaccine, no play” policy and bringing Irving in as a part-time player in part due to Durant’s wishes.
