The Brooklyn Nets are starting the 2020-21 NBA season with their complete lineup, meaning that Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, two of the top 10 scorers in league history, are joining hands on the floor.
Theoretically, the Nets have one of the most unstoppable offensive squads in today's NBA and thus should be considered as a strong contender for the championship. However, Irving's resume of peculiar remarks and behavior can be a potential problem for the Nets' locker room. Moreover, how much KD has recovered from an Achilles tendon injury also puts a big question mark on the team's future.
