    They should be a PROBLEM for the entire league offensively. Irving, Harden, Durant is the most talented big 3 since Bosh, Wade, Lebron. Add in an exceptional shooter in Harris and you have possibly the best offensive 4 in a lineup since ever?

    Only hiccup could be - personality conflict. Its almost certain that Harden will have to reduce his time on ball to his pre MDA days ( from 9mins to 6-7mins). Durant and Irving will also have to adjust to having less touches and recall that both bristled at not having enough touches/shots while playing with far less ball dominant or shot dominant players in Curry and Lebron.

    Defense is also going to be a huge issue... but their offensive potential and talent is so great, it should propel them to the Finals. If and when they do so, the Nets will clearly be Durants team and him the best player on it.

    Your anger has you remembering wrong Harden did not want out he wanted to get paid.

    Don't be that guy.

    I think if things are tough for whatever reason (injuries, bad attitudes, etc.) It's possible -- the Nets are sitting at 6-6 right now, but yeah they are probably going to start wrecking the East and everyone will be happy.

    But you never know...

    So Harden knew the deal was going down last night when he said those words. Still he should not have said them.

    Happy times wrecking the East with a depleted bench and no Dinwiddie.

    This would’ve made the season way more bearable. Hope Oladipo can return to his All Star form.

    There are a lot of options if Victor is good or bad. Rox not tied to him. If he's that good, then I believe it's possible.
