Kevin Durant faces post All-Star break return; Cam Thomas makes history in Nets’ loss
New York TimesNEW YORK – When Nets GM Sean Marks is done adjusting the team’s roster ahead of Thursday afternoon’s trade deadline, the contender he’s trying to remake won’t have Kevin Durant on the floor until after the All-Star break. “I won’t step on, you know, across that line a little bit, but what I’ll say the days are adding up, and he has progressed,” Vaughn said. “Whether that’s going to be enough of a progression, I can’t really answer that one.” The update came minutes after the Nets traded Kessler Edwards to the Sacramento Kings in a move that opened up a roster spot and saved the team roughly $8 million in salary and its luxury tax bill. “It’s gonna be fun, and yeah to a degree it is a second bite of the apple, and although I wanted to win one for Dallas, obviously there’s a certain level of pride there would be to bring a championship to Brooklyn over any other organization in the league, including an L.A. team or something, being from L.A., it would still be more prideful doing it here just because like I said in a lot of ways it made my career.” Finney-Smith kept it short when asked about his role in Brooklyn.
