That Nets team let the 2013-14 Raptors take them to 7 games (Lowry and DeRozan were nowhere near their respective peaks and the rest of that team's starting lineup and bench was mid). And 2020-21 was a different story and they should've never fired Jacque Vaughn and shouldn't have traded for Harden and kept their depth and role players instead while letting Kyrie and Durant carry the load offensively instead of having 3 offensive ball dominant players in the same starting lineup

[@Kagemusha08]

There's a lot of risk in going all-in with a superteam. If you use your depth to aquire 3 elite players if only one of them gets hurt you're kind of fucked. The superteams that actually work out in the modern era are places like the Warriors, who aleady had an elite team and didn't have to give up any depth to sign Durrant in free agency.

[@coyote2]

The axiom "defense wins championships" cannot be nullified by adding more guys great at isolation offense. Kyrie and Harden are cones, and KD can't defend strong opponents without fouling. In other words, poor roster construction no one should've expected to work.

[@smoothsavage2870]

In 2021 they were top 3 in defense in the Bucks series and by the time the playoffs ended they were 4th in defense for the 2021 playoffs, despite being bad defensively in the regular season. When Steve Nash got fired and Jacque Vaughn became HC, they got better defensively as well.

[@willemcenter8649]

Three biggest stars couldn’t stop a traffic cone. Super teams will only be successful if they are defensive focused. There’s only 1 ball so you get diminishing returns by having great offensive players but you get multiplicative returns if you have great defenders

@@willemcenter8649 3 Point Shooting is all that Curry really excells at, so that just makes him a role-player at best. He's okay-good at typical PG fundamentals, but he's not amazing at it unlike Steve Nash, another great PG 3pt Shoot who was actually able to carry his garbage teams to the playoffs, unlike Curry. Steph certainly benefitted from being drafted into a young superteam and playing in an era of basketball that panders towards ISO, spacing and pure finesse where you're forced to respect your opponents' layups and screens, and playing under Steve Kerr's system that panders to his style of play while most of the other players just rebound, play actual defense and keep passing the ball to Steph. Without those things, Steph's nothing. Just pay attention to what happened to him back in 2021... So who are the true best Top 10-15 All Time NBA Players? How come?

I think Joel Embiid landed on one of Durant's legs by accident. That Brooklyn Nets Team was formidable. KD that year did some amazing things with the Nets in 2021 playoffs. If Durant managed to step back an inch further beyond the 3-point line against the Bucks at the end of that game-7, the Nets would have secured a championship that year. Almost most of the stars on that team had some type of injury. I praised Durant that year for balling. Despite losing to the Bucks in that game-7, KD carried that Nets team on his back. I was disappointed in James Harden's physical conditioning that year.

[@smoothsavage2870]

Superteams only work if the players involved are willing to share the ball and not always be the guy. Part of the reason why LeBron’s Heat team worked was because Wade and Bosh understood that they needed to be supporting casts if they wanted to win.

The nets players were unselfish though, they were number one in offense that season and had a historic offense when harden, kyrie, and Kd all played. Kd has never been ball dominant, kyrie was willing to not be the point guard, and Harden sacrificed by taking the least amount of shots of the big three.

@ I know, I was just speaking in general. I know the Nets at the time were great, and that injuries is what mostly made them not work out. Kyrie’s feud with the media at the time also didn’t help make matters better either.

There are too many princesses in one castle.

KD and Kyrie with Nets young team could've work. KD and Harden could've work but three of them? nah

make a vid of all current big 3s and wether or not they are or were good enough to the Larry O’Brien trophy

I think Kyrie did it on purpose, alot of people think he had beef with the owner or GM, because he went to Dallas and suddenly no controversies and he helped carry the team to the Finals.

As I nets fan I didn’t mind if bridges stayed on the team through a questionable rebuild but the trade from New York felt like a 2k trade.

[@jacktheteo]

kyrie messed things up.
