On the verge of implosion following Kevin Durant’s transfer request, the Nets nevertheless managed to extend Nic Claxton and Patty Mills. Both players have shown they are capable of doing good on the field, but the blur is so total on the Brooklyn side that these signings still look a bit like a return to the madness.
To find all the signatures of this crazy night, it’s HERE!
Nic Claxton has distinguished himself this season by having sent a percentage of throws worthy of a footballer who came to participate ” for fun » in the 3×3 tournament of the local basketball club. Once past the time for jokes and other nicknames, we must still recognize that the start of Clax’ career with the Nets is rather attractive. Selected in 31st position in the 2019 Draft, he impresses with his talent. Let’s be clear, we’re not talking about the future Shaq’, but about a good little pivot capable of doing a job off the bench, even being rather annoying when he’s hot. The stats are interesting, and deserve to be given a little more responsibility: 8.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.1 blocks. What Sean Marks – general manager from Brooklyn – offers him? 20 million over two years. In the possibility of a reconstruction, it is interesting to lock a man who can potentially benefit from a boss game time and therefore increase in value as he progresses.

For Patty Mills, the situation has a certain advantage. Closing a deal quick in a team that is on the cusp of a historic explosion in NBA history? Well done Pat ‘, since at 33 years old, receiving 14.5 million dollars over the next two years seems like a nice shot. Hey, there is of course no question of saying that it’s theft, because Patty is a very good basketball player who has proven his talent in the eyes of all. That being said, let’s say that this deal is a great way to quietly pursue his career in the NBA, taking advantage of an important role in the rotation of the coach, whether it’s Steve Nash or another. This season ? 11.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists. The watchword is clever. Ask him to handle the leads? He will do it like a boss behind your starting point guard. In the same perspective as for Claxton, it is finally interesting to be able to count on a veteran to supervise a potential group of young people recovered in the exchange of Kevin Durant.

Two signatures for the price of one, and a Free Agency which is definitely marked by extensions during this first night of hostilities. Don’t worry huh, since with this huge trade in preparation in Brooklyn, we risk all to vibrate soon. But vibrate very strongly.
