If that’s the case, expect even more responsibility to be heaped on their stalwart trio of Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen and Joe Harris.

If the Nets end up dealing LeVert or Dinwiddie, they’ll likely have a player like Holiday or Victor Oladipo on the team.

Irving got injured, then LeVert took on a larger role.

LeVert’s injury history is well-documented, from missing 42 straight games a year ago with a dislocated foot to 24 this season after thumb surgery.

LeVert wouldn’t hazard a guess as to what percentage he was.
