As Kyrie Irving returns to the Nets, an overlooked sacrifice comes from players whose roles and minutes will change.
, the Nets have caved. In becoming a part-time player rather than asking for a trade elsewhere, Irving is surrendering half the games he could play.
For a Nets team that has shuffled its roster all season amid injuries and a COVID-19 outbreak, Mills is comfortable with his job description continuing to spin for “the betterment of the team.” The Nets kept in touch with him through group chats, and Irving has been watching — and offering some help — from afar.
Brown’s role, too, will be in question as the season proceeds. DeAndre’ Bembry already has leapfrogged Brown as the starter at small forward, and if Bembry is shuffled back when Irving and Harris rejoin the team, it would be harder for role players to find their roles.“We just added a great player, so I think it’ll be easy for us,” Brown said. “This group already knows how to play without [Irving], now we have to learn how to play with him.
