Some food for thought:
Assuming it takes two years for Durant to get back to his old self (one year of rehab and one additional season), which is reasonable for this type of injury if you ask me, here’s what you’ll have at that point:
- Durant will be 32 with a reconstructed achilles and one more year left on his deal before the player option.
- Kyrie will be 29 with one more year left on his deal before the player option.
- Jordan will be 33 with two more years at $10m per.
Hardly a disaster, but not the coup that some people have characterized the Nets’ offseason as.
