Full breakdown of the Brooklyn Nets' return for Kevin Durant

The Brooklyn Nets' front office is seemingly taking the Oklahoma City Thunder's route to success by compiling assets and building in-house.

This appaoch should come as much of a surprise considering the failures of the Big Three era with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James. The Nets received a massive haul in return for Durant, most recently in trading away forward Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks.

Here's the full breakdown of the Nets' return for Durant:

The original deal sent Durant and forward T.J. Warren to Phoenix in exchange for Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks, and a 2028 pick swap.

The Nets moved Crowder to the Milwaukee Bucks for two second-round picks in a three-team deal with the Indiana Pacers. Then, the blockbuster move took place, trading Bridges to the Knicks in exchange for four unprotected first-round picks, a protected first-rounder from the Bucks, a pick swap, and a second-round pick.

In total, it leaves the Nets with a pool of the following assets from the Durant trade:

Cameron Johnson

8 unprotected first-round picks

1 protected first-round pick

2028 first-round pick swap

2028 unprotected pick swap

3 second-round picks
