The Nets’ failed Big 3 is a thing of the past.

Their future may depend on whether the Suns’ Big 3 fails as well.

There is precious little to like about the Nets’ disappointing present. Not their underachieving 32-50 record and certainly not their sitting at home during the playoffs for the first time since 2017-18.

But when they watch those playoffs, the failure in Phoenix is one of the few things to like.
