This is either going to be a classic looks good on paper, but doesn't work out or NBA Title. I just don't see with 1-6 all stars (Deron Williams, old Paul Pierce, old Kevin Garnett, Brook Lopez, Joe Johnson, and Andrei Kirilenko) how this team isn't winning the title if this team is clicking on all cylinders. Jason Kidd seems like a guy who can be a highly successful NBA coach. They have the 3 shooters to beat Miami and big men down low who can score to beat Miami. With Garnett down low they have the defense too. Only team in the Western conference that might cause the Nets trouble in the Finals is the Houston Rockets.
(This assumes they win the Eastern Conference) Deron Williams on defense has always been the best or close to it when it comes to defense from a PG (don't ask me what happened in the Chicago playoff series last year) so I don't see Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, or Tony Parker being super effective like they're against Miami. LA Clippers are a great regular season team they have no superstar 2nd scorer after Chris Paul. Blake Griffin isn't effective, Crawford isn't a guy who will put 17 points a game in the postseason effectively, Barnes not happening, and Jared Dudley is overrated. Chris Paul is in the same boat as Derrick Rose. Deng = Crawford, Butler = Dudley, and Boozer = Griffin
(Nets won't be a spectacular regular season team, because they will sit Pierce, Garnett, and Johnson a lot during the regular season.) Joe Johnson is 32, but he has a lot of 39.5+ minute seasons and all were when he was 22-27 years old. In comparison Lebron James hasn't played a 39.5+ season since he was 23.
