I get that Kyrie + Harden + Durant "if works" would be a great team, however even if it works, I doubt it would be a championship level team and if it doesn't work out and they have problems? Nets lost their future for absolutely nothing.

Again, they are betting that the trio will produce multiple rings for them at least because it breaks out. So we will see if the gamble will pay off or not.

Brooklyn nets is a big market but their teams are tanking, they decided to make a big improvement and in every action there's no assurance so we can understand why they are gambling this big for this deal.

They are trying to make things works for the sake of getting a title.

It's a gamble since we don't know if this trio will able to provide them the ring that they really aiming. All three superstars are sscoring
champs, it's a big test for Coah Nash on how he'll be able to blend this three plus the role players that will complete the starting five.

Why do Nets always do this? What is the point of this and why do it all over again? I mean last time they did it, they got a very old KG and Pierce and they wanted to win a championship with them, and look at how great Boston became without ever becoming a bad team, moving from the championship level team to a playoff level team easily thanks to what they got from Nets. Now Nets are doing it again, they gave up 4 picks, and 4 swaps, that means for the next 8 years they will not pick any good players from the draft unless they got very very lucky from swaps or second rounds, they need like a manu ginobili type of situation so it will be quite tough.

Exactly, it's a big gamble that Brooklyn has taken on Harden, all we can hope that it can give them good dividends this year, going to the Finals. Another catch is that we don't know if Durant will opt out with his contract.

What more do you want to see of a team in order to consider it as a championship team?

Durant_ won a championship with the GSW.
Irving _ won a championship with the Cavaliers
Harden_ reach the NBA finals when in OKC, and Rockets reached the WCF.

These people have the talent, they are extremely good in basketball, all they need is support.

I heard this statement in youtube and they will surely be a big problem if their opponent cannot compete them on scoring since they will create a big mess in the court since many player will get a problem to guide them since the three of them is dangerous scorer. But the issue now is on their defensive end and this concerns is their major problem but let see they still have jordan on their line up but I'm still concern about their second unit since they doesn't have strong back ups.

I hate going totals with the 76ers, glad my bet is done with - had them FH -5.5. I run into the same issue with the Celtics and totals.

What's wrong with the 76ers totat? Sometimes they scored low, sometimes they scored high.

That's the norms of the game it's very unpredictable, and I'm telling you, even if you use some statistics, it will still not guarantee anything.

So... I placed a bet in Q2 of the 76ers vs Heat game, with 76ers to win and under 238.5 points total. Now it's very clear at this point that Heat can't catch up to 76ers, even though Shake Milton was substituted out apparently after scoring 76ers 19 points, but I guess rest your good players after they hit the ball home, right?

Under 283.5 points is something I am more worried about, last time I got my bet screwed by a single point difference, by I believe I am in safe territory today.

That's the expectation, they are now the favorites in the East and hopefully Harden's decision to play with the Nets is not a wrong. I thought Lebron can only build a super team, but here they are, they build a super team, I think this team is better than the Warriors big 3 with KD playing.

I'm excited to see the first game they will all play.

Irving, KD, Harden are looking better individually, but if we compare them with the roster of GSW in previous years, the Nets will look worse as a team. I'm almost sure that they can't win a title this season because this big trio will have a problem with team chemistry.

I think Kyrie-KD-Harden trio will do awesome things together.

Just as you, many of us as fans think the same that this trio will add flavor to the team. At first, it was just Irving and Durant and we're already talking about how strong the roster of Brooklyn was.
And with the addition of another good scorer and an 8th time all-star player, the situation for their team just got better.

I do look interesting with Irving-Harden duo rather than with Irving-KD . A good ball handler plus having those penetrative drive in paint plus
having some good passes into a good 3-point or mid-line shooter? that would really be a good combination. Rockets had just lost their main star
but i would say that this is just a good call and Harden does really need some new team mates that would be mixing out into his capabilities or playstyle.

Nets lost their mind on this because they are chasing a championship, they forget that those three players are gonna have a hard time adjusting, they are all want to have their ball in hand, that's sometimes the issue with star players they don't want to outlast because they need attention, if the two of them won't adjust and give in to one star player I'll bet this its gonna be the worse big three ever especially Irving want to be the guy same with durant.

This is an intense pressure for the team if they're greed enough for championship, without even thinking the effect for their players. That doesn't solve or even help them to reach their specific target, what's important right now is to study briefly the weakness of their opponent. Everything will follow, and they should always bare in mind the sportsmanship which is a basic thing in basketball. Certainly, adjustments would take more days before everything will become satisfactory over them.

As if it has not happened before, we've seen some superteams already and they are successful, Lebron joined Miami and they won, back to Heat with Irving and Kevin Love, they won also, so most probably they are looking at it and they follow the same path.

These big 3 of nets can produce 30 points at an average per night, but things are different now since they'll get lower shot attempts and we can see more of their accuracy than their points due to that.

All I can say is I'm happy since East and West are now balance in terms of star players.

What do you mean not gather themselves together?

It's the same story for Harden to be honest, they blow their opportunity, not once but twice against Golden State. Chris Paul criticized him in the media, and it's obvious that he is instrumental in Paul being traded. Then he got Westbrook, still the same story for him. Then they acquire John Wall, still they are not winning so now he demanded himself to be traded. And there are rumors that he and Wall are not getting along:

So best of luck to Brooklyn.

The Harden trade was escalated quickly, literally after the 2 game blowout against the Lakers, I woke up the next morning and baaam Harden was already traded to the Nets.
Just right before the season started, Harden already lost his interest in pursuing the Rockets to win a championship, instead he showed interest in Joining the Nets. So, I guess this explains why the trade was executed like instantly.

Well, now the Nets are the second favorite right next to the Lakers as the top spot, everyone is looking forward to see these teams in the Finals.

Why Lebron's name mentioned mate lol. Cheesy

No relation.

But about the recent big news, it's not with Harden's decision if it's wrong but if the Nets' decision is right. They gambled for Durant even not playing for 1 season because of injury but the result is good. They gambled for Irving too but now showing some tantrums. They now again gamble with Harden too and release their good players that averaging good stats in the bubble last year when these superstars are not playing.

And if I'm not mistaken about their contracts, Durant has a player option next season, same with Kyrie. It means it's not sure if they will stay on Nets next season. They need to be champion this season.

We talked about Brooklyn Nets here too many times and highlight their lack of scorers besides Kyrie and Durant. Now they fill that gap with one of the best players in NBA. We have a new super-team in NBA now guys.

I have no doubts that Durant and Harden will share ball and play good together. Nets looks very strong now after this trade. I'm patiently waiting their first games.

When would be his debut game with the Brooklyn? I'm sure he missed playing with his former mate on Oklahoma before and now they're back together, they really are stronger this time.

They've played today although haven't seen him, still they won the game against Knicks.

Its also just weird that even though most of the superteams are being formed because of this cuts other players are receiving in their salary but its also another good thing because it just shows that some players are willing to receive this cuts just to make their team better. I guess the debut would be once the trade clears up with most teams involve. Its a 4 team trade from the news that I have read and Oladipo is still being looked to be traded.

People are saying they should trade Kyrie for Westbrook and get the original OKC 3 back together.

Nobody can say Harden is chasing money, that's for sure. On top of passing up a contract extension that would have made him the first NBA player to make $50+ million per year, going to New Jersey is costing him something like $17 million dollars in additional taxes on his current contract... He's leaving behind a boatload to get out of Houston.

Yeah, and probably Nets is his last stop to get that ring. Obviously, it was not meant to be for him in Houston, he have this chances with Chris Paul against GSW but they felt short and that was the closest he can get into the Finals.

So what better team to go than with the Nets with Durant-Kyrie, those individual records are nothing to him now. He needed that one thing that eluded him and that is a NBA ring, to be included in the next 50 greatest.
