Two days after trading guard Kyrie Irving to the Mavericks, the Nets are dealing with both negative and positive repercussions.
Irving’s exit threw a wrench into a team built around him and forward Kevin Durant’s skillsets. His departure, however, opened the door for previously unheralded guard Cam Thomas to drop 47 points in Brooklyn’s 124–116 loss to the Clippers Monday night.
With this in mind, the Nets will not look to move Durant ahead of Thursday afternoon's trade deadline, according to a Tuesday afternoon report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
