After hobbling out of the second round of the NBA playoffs, the Brooklyn Nets figure to have a very intriguing offseason this summer. The Milwaukee Bucks took out the Nets in Game 7 on Friday night, ending the season for Brooklyn.

The Nets were trying to advance to the conference semifinals while missing Kyrie Irving and having James Harden play on basically one leg. Kevin Durant was phenomenal but it still wasn't enough. Brooklyn is clearly in “win now” mode with their big three of Durant, Harden and Irving. As a result, the offseason will be critical after they came up short this year.

Here are two major decisions the Nets must make this offseason after losing to the Bucks in Game 7.

Is it time to dish out extensions to Durant, Harden and Irving?

The trio of Durant, Harden and Irving all have two years left on their current deals with the Nets. As a result, this would appear to be the offseason to lock in the trio for the long term future with Brooklyn as they look to claim a title and continue to go “all in.”

Giving extensions to these three will severely tie up the Nets financially but, what other choice do they have? They are committed to making this work with KD, Harden and Irving and they're going to have to open up the checkbook to see it come to fruition.

According to ESPN.com, here's how the extensions would look for the three in fairly simplistic terms.

Kevin Durant –

Now Durant is eligible to sign a four-year, $197.7 million extension this offseason, which would represent the most money he could get from Brooklyn. If Durant does not sign the extension and waits until the 2022 offseason, the same four-year $197.7 million contract would be waiting for him as an unrestricted free agent with the Nets. – ESPN.com

James Harden –

Harden is in a unique situation because his extension would require him to opt in to his $47.4 million contract in 2022-23 and then extend for three additional seasons. The total new money would come out to $161.1 million, and Harden would earn close to $50 million in the first season. – ESPN.com

Kyrie Irving –

Because Irving would be declining his $35 million player option in 2022-23, the extension represents $146 million in new salary. – ESPN.com

To bluntly summarize, that's a ton of money but the Nets really don't have other options. What will be fascinating to watch is how the Nets go about the extensions. Will they treat each case individually when they sit down with Durant, Harden and Irving? Or will they try to sit down the group all in one to sort this out and work together?

Some have already referenced the injury history when forking over this much money to these three players. Yes, it will leave the Nets limited to add around the three on the roster but there are always loopholes like how they got Blake Griffin during the middle of the season this year. And while Irving's injuries certainly draw a reason to pause, the Nets front office can't afford to isolate him and risk fracturing the relationships they have with Harden and Durant. It's likely these three roll together for the immediate future and will have each other's back. Thus, the Nets will have to back up the Brinks truck for all three.

Figure out what to do with their own free agents

Brooklyn has multiple decisions to make with free agents of their own; the two notable ones being Bruce Brown and Blake Griffin.

The Nets more or less took a flyer on Brown after he spent his first couple of seasons in Detroit with the Pistons. A former second-round pick, Brooklyn could not have asked for much more from Brown as he was a perfect blend in the Nets' lineup, playing his role to a tee.

Now, the Nets should clearly want Brown back and there's likely to be mutual interest on Brown's end but where's the happy medium price wise? Brown had a great year but he isn't going to break the bank for any team but it is worth noting he's a restricted free agent and not unrestricted. Other suitors who have an increased curiosity in Brown may be able to push the Nets out of the picture given their lack of cap flexibility by offering more themselves.

Speaking of former Pistons, Blake Griffin looked all but done in Detroit. He wasn't shooting well, he appeared incapable of being able to dunk the ball anymore and he lacked interest at times with the Pistons. It's hard to blame him given how Detroit has been the last handful of years.

Going to Brooklyn sparked life into Griffin and he was a key starter for the Nets in the playoffs. Has he done enough to warrant a nice multi-year deal from another team? That's tough to say but keep in mind the Nets will only be able to offer Griffin the veteran minimum to return. As a result, the ball could end up in Blake's court. Does he take the vet minimum to try and get a ring in what would be his best chance to do so by being in Brooklyn? Or does he sign elsewhere, perhaps get a larger role and more money to help an already contending team try to get a little bit better?

It is set up to be a very intriguing offseason for the Nets. The clear-cut first step is working out extensions with Durant, Harden and Irving and then figuring out the rest after that.
