The Brooklyn Nets have had the quite the offseason thus far. The trade with the Celtics finally became official, making Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry, and DJ White all Nets. White was really just a throw-in. This trade alone puts them up there to contend with the Heat. Later on in the article I'll post what I think the depth chart will be, but when you think about that starting 5, it's scary. The addition of those 2 give us a legitimate shot to win the NBA Finals this year. I also think the addition of Jason Kidd, who is arguable the smartest basketball player of all time, is only going to make this team that much better. Then there's the other smaller moves that have been made. Jason Terry is a very good shooter off the bench so that was a good piece to get in that trade as well. Mason Plumlee with the 22nd overall pick could end up being the steal of the draft. This guy should've gone in the first half of the first round, but hey I'm not going to complain about getting one of the better players in the whole draft. Then there's the brilliant addition of Andrei Kirilenko. This guy is so underrated it's not even funny. He's a great basketball player and coming off the bench he is going to have a shot at winning 6th man of the year. Hands down one of the best under the radar signings this offseason. Here's the depth chart for the team that I think has the best starting 5 in the whole NBA:
PG: D-Will/Shaun Livingston/Tyshawn Taylor
SG: Joe Johnson/Jason Terry
SF: Paul Pierce/AK47/Toko Shengelia
PF: KG/Reggie Evans/Mirza Teletovic/DJ White
C: Brook/Andray Blatche/Plumlee
That team right there looks way better than good for next season. Looks like a championship team if you ask me.
