Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving: Leaving Brooklyn didn’t mean instant winning

About
Even though the trade deadlines have long since passed, Sunday felt like the official end of the superstar narrative for the Brooklyn Nets. James Harden and the Sixers were bounced from the playoffs is a crazy blowout at the hands of the Celtics. Harden himself was terrible in the game. And late last week, Kevin Durant and the Suns lost in Game 6 to the Nuggets, getting blown out in back-to-back games to close out the series. 
Doug Norrie takes a look at how these new situations now define the narratives for each player, along with Kyrie Irving and the Mavericks not even making the playoffs.
If anything, this now feels like clean slate time for the Nets who move into a new era knowing there was probably little chance the Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving team-up was ever going to work long-term.
