Not unlikely that Kyrie Irving has played his last game as a Net. Not sure how much trade value he will garner. Udoka seems to be on hold as well.

Kevin Durant wanted James Harden off the Nets partly because of his passivity and lack of agression scoring the ball.
In his final game of the year, Harden scored 11 points on 8 shot attempts.
He didn’t make a field goal in the second half or attempt a two-pointer.
