Remember, Durant joined the Nets in July of 2019, just weeks after rupturing his Achilles tendon. Remember, he announced that decision on Instagram, before free agency officially opened, without even meeting with Nets officials (he simply said he was coming, along with his buddy Kyrie Irving). Remember, Durant spent a full season out of sight and out of uniform, while rehabbing from surgery.
It turns out, that profoundly strange introduction served as an omen of sorts. Things never did get much better, or more normal, or more palpable, during Durant's time in Brooklyn. The era could best be summed up with a shrug emoji and a two-word slogan: Shit happens.
