NBA Rumors: 3 bold predictions for Brooklyn Nets 2021 NBA offseason

#1 Brooklyn Nets will reach an agreement to extend the contract of one member of the 'Big Three'

Kevin Durant #7 James Harden #13 and Kyrie Irving #11 of the Brooklyn Nets

Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving are all under contract with the Brooklyn Nets for the upcoming NBA season, but the three superstars can opt out of their respective deals after the 2021-22 NBA season.

The salary cap situation for the Brooklyn Nets will make things hard for the front office to work around the deals of these three superstars.

However, if the Brooklyn Nets franchise plans on staying relevant, keeping the entertaining 'Big Three' could be a priority. Agreeing on an extension with a 'Big Three' member early could make things easier for the front office, though there might be some rolling eyes from those who have not reached an agreement as soon as possible.

The Brooklyn Nets are favorites to win the 2021-22 NBA championship, given the team stays healthy for the upcoming NBA season and can find an adequate defensive system. A title could help the front office in trying to keep the trio together even if not all members have agreed on an extension beyond 2022, but individual agendas might play a part too.

Securing one superstar beyond 2022 should be a priority for the Brooklyn Nets, as it will help the franchise if anything goes wrong in the 2021-22 NBA season and there's the decision to move away from the 'super team' construction.

In terms of what each contract extension would be worth, the most expensive would be James Harden's, at over $53-million per year for three years, then Durant's at $50-million per year for four years, and Irving's at $45-million annually for four years.
