    If Caris Levert stays healthy too, they could very well win a title

  5. Kevin Durant in his prime couldn't win a title with Russell Westbrook Serge Ibaka and James Harden I don't think he is gonna beat the Bucks Celtics Lakers Clippers Heat Raptors with a team worse than any team he has ever played on coming off an achilles injury.

    no matter what happens with Kyrie or KD in the future, it damn sure gave them a better shot than a LeVert/Dinwiddie/Allen/D’lo vote did. Absolutely no offense to those guys but it’s hard to say that team had a ceiling that was a legit contender

    last time i checked KD won a title while he was in his prime. two, in fact. also if you don't think kyrie is better than 2012 russ, i really don't know what to tell you lol. harden was also a sixth man at that point, albeit obviously an outsized one. the nets are a quite good team that could pull off a first round upset as is without either of those two guys. thinking they couldn't win a title adding back one of the better scoring point guards in the world and arguably the best player in the world is absurd, to me. granted, KD could be awful coming back. if he is, they probably won't win one lol. however, i "could see" him being great again and "could see" them winning a title. very easily, in fact, yes.
     
  9. I wouldn’t say easily
     
  10. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Nets with a healthy KD and Kyrie absolutely steamroll the east next year.

    that team is pretty competitive with Kyrie out this year and KD is a fucking monster (assuming he’s healthy!!!)

    a healthy nets team could for sure win the title

  11. Lol they won’t steam roll the East
     
  12. Drew you give props to absolutely no team but the Bucks lmao come on man

    I swear there’s other good teams in the league than the Bucks.

    it’s crazy to say the nets have no shot at winning a title if they’re healthy

    you gotta be more reasonable lol. i don't think they would steamroll the east, sure. but they would also dramatically decrease the ceiling for the bucks. which is why we need to win it all this year lol.

  14. I believe I have given props to the Lakers Raptors Clippers and even Nuggets in this thread

    I wonder if the Nets this season have a better record without Kyrie than with him

    An Achilles injury is really hard to come back from
     
  15. It 100% is. He could come back and look like complete shit. At this point, I think Kyrie's health is more concerning than Durant's. It seems like he's made of glass or just comes back way too fast and gets injured again.

    There's a ton of variables with the Nets, sure. But on paper, that team with KD/Kyrie should be a top team in the east (1 or 2). If there's injuries or drama between those two then it's probably a wrap.

    Also this lol. Tons of teams next year could improve. Bucks have a much bigger window than most other teams but next year (hopefully) there's a healthy Nets team, Warriors, Clippers, Lakers, etc. And it's more of a toss up

    What makes any player think kyrie could ever be in charge of the players union? Are they all flat earth conspiracy theorists?
