For three seasons, Green and Durant competed together for the Warriors, and each year they advanced to the NBA Finals.

[{"selector":"#anim-a87f68ba-6061-44ef-a3e7-e8596c916631","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4503f18-0823-4bbd-bebd-8784eae0a69c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(122.10526%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

They nearly completed a three-peat by winning back-to-back NBA Championships in 2017 and 2018.

[{"selector":"#anim-44caf17f-6fb9-456b-951f-631d1ee4d94e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-924070a1-173a-4025-a2cb-99a65078a6ef","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Durant was injured during the 2019 NBA Finals, which they lost to the Toronto Raptors in six games.

[{"selector":"#anim-4e9c9913-b11e-41b7-ab8a-f643a91d2daf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b71f02cb-a9e3-4b6a-975c-184b0c891236","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(121.95123%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Durant joined the Nets in the summer of 2019 following that series (he then missed the next season due to injury).

[{"selector":"#anim-574970b8-4233-4ef7-ac62-e25724cc20c3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ec31072a-c9a5-4617-857f-0d1e5c18661e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(122.10526%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Nets have only won one playoff series in his two seasons playing for Brooklyn.

In light of the fact that they also have Kyrie Irving, the team's lack of success has been a significant letdown.
