    D'lo willed us to the 6th seed despite how much injuries we had to deal with and we almost beat Philly in the first round if not for certain injuries

    So imagine going from D'lo to Kyrie Irving + fully healthy LeVert and Deandre Jordan

    55 wins minimum + conference finals

    You clearly didn't watch the games as we were absolutely destroying Philly until Davis went down because Embiid couldn't score on him to save his life

    Let's not forget how shit the refs were the entire series giving Embiid every call

    If KD can't come back I expect them to win 38-42 games. Playoffs is possible with a first-round victory qualifying as a major success.

    How are we going to win less games with a drastically improved roster makes no sense

    I could see Brooklyn getting a playoff spot. I'm assuming Durant won't play in the postseason as the league is more cautious about players coming back too soon.

    Going from Russell to Irving is going from an All-Star to an All-Star so until we see how Durant returns the biggest addition is adding DeAndre Jordan. That isn't drastic improvement. Last year's Nets overachieved with strong chemistry and an underdog mentality. Now that they have Irving they will have expectations and there isn't much to be said for his leadership so I don't expect the chemistry to be nearly as strong.

    Agreed. Nets won't be a factor this year or any other year in the near future. There fans are delusional.

    Kyrie's value has plummeted down faster than I anticipated, I also think he's going to retire early and probably already anticipating his next chapter in life. He's been like that since a rook on Cavs


    I don't believe him and KD will mesh at all, unlike Lebron and Irving - Durant is not a playmaker. These are two iso fanatic t guys who are underwhelming when it comes to creating offense for others.


    With KD coming off his injury, don't be surprise to see these turn into Rose/Melo 2.0
