Kenny Anderson: ‘Nets are going to look beautiful’ with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving

One way or another, continuing the 2019-20 NBA season will have an impact on when Kevin Durant makes his Brooklyn Nets debut. If the forward comes back after the hiatus — which doesn’t seem likely based on recent comments made by his manager Rich Kleiman — he could make his debut sooner than expected. Or, if Durant doesn’t play, Brooklyn may have to wait to see him suit up longer than initially anticipated because the NBA may have to delay the start of the 2020-21 season.

On top of Durant, the Nets had originally lost Kyrie Irving to season-ending shoulder surgery prior to the hiatus.

It’s been an up-and-down process, but former Nets point guard Kenny Anderson told Brandon Robinson of Heavy on the “Scoop B Radio” podcast the wait will be worth it:

The Nets are going to look beautiful. I’m excited for their season with Kyrie and Kevin Durant running the show, but the Nets have to find those pieces that’s going to fit in with them and then that’s where they’re gonna shine.

As for what Anderon meant by “those pieces,” he clarified the Nets aren’t missing pieces because they have DeAndre Jordan at center, adding:

Man they got some talent. They got some talent with those two guys. They have to find a way to mesh. If they can find a way to mesh, they’ll be fine. They’re going to be one of the top teams in the East.
