On paper, the Brooklyn Nets appear to be one of the best teams in the league, if not the best. The Nets have an elite roster this season, spearheaded by Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden.

But, it could all go down south for Brooklyn. They do have 3 of the best players in the league, but can they coexist together? KD has proved that he can adjust to playing with two other superstars, when he was a member of the GSW.

Additionally, Durant doesn’t need the ball in his hands all the time to make things happen. However, both Kyrie and Harden are ball dominant players. They need to keep possession for an elongated period of time to make an impact on the game.
