Durant will still be an elite offensive player. It's the defense that I'd be concerned with. If KD is not as mobile and Kyrie is the point of attack, Brooklyn is going to need a lot of 3&D help to surround those two guys. Dinwiddie and Harris are not defensive guys. Jordan is washed up. So yeah lots of work for the FO to make that a good team.
I'm skeptical but the media pundits will rank them #1 or #2 in the East even before the season starts.

Bud was coach last year so is exempt.
Let's try to get Nurse in there.
So looking at games left from now until Feb 2:
Toronto: @NY, @SAS, Atlanta, @Cleveland, @Detroit, Chicago
Miami: LAC, Orlando, Boston, @Orlando
Boston: @Orlando, @NO, @Miami, GSW, Philly
I'm not including Philly or Indiana. Just don't think they have a shot.
We have 2 games advantage over Miami, and 1 over Boston. I think this is doable. Only concern is both Miami and Boston have the tie breakers. So need to outpace both. But our schedule is super easy.

Kyrie Irving is an elite ball handler and elite finishing high degree of difficulty scoring attempts. That's about it. He's horrible on defence. He doesn't help his team win, ever. He's a locker room problem.
He also makes highlight reel plays all the time and is one of those guys that's just fun to watch. Plus he was a #1 draft pick. He's coasting on those fumes."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

I see a lot of Trae Young in him. Young is very splashy and can get a lot of points or assists. But is a turnstile on defense, and really doesn't help you win. He's also now an all-star starter. I'll take Kyle Lowry over these guys any day. Lowry is hardly splashy but he helps you win. Same with Chris Paul.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

Marks was doing everything right to turn that franchise around in the wake of that disastrous trade. And then he got kyrie. I guess theyre hoping that having durant will quell kyrie's desire to be a leader, but durant isnt really a leader either. Maybe it works out, but adding durant alone may have been enough with the other players they have. I dont know, I think they f'd up there. Kyrie is a bum.

"based on a model of the experiences of 36 NBA players who have had season ending Achilles tendon injuries since 2000-2001"
1/ How many of these players were Kevin Durant level?
Zero? One?
2/ How have the surgical procedures and rehab changed in the last 20 years?
I'd never count that snake out lol
