Brooklyn Nets Season Preview - a podcast by SLRP Productions

The upcoming season will be year 4 of the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving partnership on Atlantic Avenue. A failure to launch for a myriad of reasons including: KD’s Achilles injury, more poor injury luck with James Harden & Kyrie not being 100% in the 2021 Eastern Conference SemiFinals against Milwaukee, and Kyrie being a faux freedom fighter who refused to get the vaccine has left this duo on the precipice of being one of the biggest disappointments during this era of player empowerment and “super teams”  

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving played just 17 games together in 2022 after playing only 27 games together previously. Talent isn’t the question but is this finally the year they’re able to capitalize on expectations?  

2021-22 Record: 44-38;  Lost in first round of the playoffs to Boston (4-0)  

2022-23 NBA Win Total Odds: 50.5 wins   

2022-23 NBA Title Odds: +700    

Burning Questions: -Who is the leader on this team?

-Which Joe Harris does this team get? 

-Overlap between Patty Mills & Seth Curry
