To some extent, without Owen's existence, although the Nets may not win the NBA championship, the Nets' situation will certainly not be so difficult. Especially when the Nets have Durant and Harden, many people themselves are very optimistic about the prospects of the Nets. No one expected that the Nets would be disturbed by an Owen. After Owen became a negative asset, the Nets also hoped to trade Owen as soon as possible, but Owen seemed to stay in the Nets.
The Lakers want to further trade Owen.
Although all teams in the NBA don't like Owen, because the star of the Lakers is James, and James likes Owen very much, the Lakers will further strive for the opportunity to trade Owen. Prior to this, the chips provided by the Lakers had been rejected by the Nets. After adding two first-round draft picks, many people suggested that the Nets formally trade Owen to the Lakers.
Nets want to get more chips by trading Owen.
Because Owen has a certain personal strength, the Nets need to get at least one superstar and draft pick when trading Owen. To some extent, the Nets lost too much money on Owen. If Owen is released directly to the Lakers, this behavior will be very loss. For the Nets, both Durant and Owen of the Nets are actively applying for the team to trade themselves. If the team really does this, it basically means that the Nets need to rebuild the team, so the Nets naturally want to get more room to build the team by trading Owen.
Finally, from my personal point of view, no matter what chips other teams offer, the most important thing for the Nets is to send Owen away quickly. If Owen continues to let me play again, the current situation of the Nets will only get worse and worse.
