Could Brooklyn Actually Have a Worse Record with Irving and Durant?

I am not seeing how the Brooklyn Nets can be declared the early winner of the NBA free agent sweepstakes. Yes, they attracted Kyrie Irving, a top 10 or maybe 5 talent and yes, they attracted Kevin Durant, a definite top 3 player.

But Durant will be out for a year with an Achilles rupture, and when he does return, he’s going to be eligible for Social Security.

Irving, on the other hand is still a relatively young man, but so what? He was a young man with Boston, the last two years, and what did that get them?

I’ll tell you what it got them, an Eastern Division finals appearance and a better record while he was injured on the bench!

The truth of the matter is, both of these guys are crybabies.

And while yes, Durant did try to play injured in the last game of the Finals this year, only to be injured more severely, the truth is, all year long, Golden State had been trying to make him a happy camper.

Remember the whole Draymond Green debacle, where the team suspended him for basically not passing Durant the ball?

Come on, man!

So what does Brooklyn plan on accomplishing in the coming season?

Maybe the playoffs.

Seriously, will Irving be able, by himself to elevate this 42-win team into some elite title contention?

No, he will not.

Will his personal performance be better than the last two years spent in Boston?

Barring injury, maybe. He will be the whole show. He hasn’t been that since before Lebron came home. And we all know how great he was then.

Guess how many wins the Cavs averaged during Kyrie’s three-year tenure as the top dog?

26.

How many playoff wins?

Zero.

How many playoff berths?

Zero.

Kyrie accomplished absolutely nothing before Lebron joined him in Cleveland. Oh wait, Rookie of the Year. Personally, he was happy.

Oh, but wait, how did Cleveland do after he whined himself out of town?

Lebron and Kevin Love went to the finals for the fourth straight time.

And so now you’re putting him in New York? With that intense media?

I can’t wait to see the New York Post headlines. Before his new partner even steps on the floor for the first time, Kyrie will be crying and whining.

I’m going to go ahead and trademark “Cry”rie before those media geniuses do!

Good luck Brooklyn. You just signed up the two most miserable multi-millionaires in the NBA.

It should work out just fine.
