Kyrie Irving: Nets have ‘glaring’ needs — even with Kevin Durant

Error 0:

PHILADELPHIA — The Nets have steadfastly insisted they aren’t conceding this season like some gap year waiting for Kevin Durant. But Kyrie Irving addressed the elephant in the room, admitting to get where they want to go – hoisting an NBA championship trophy — they will need Durant healthy.

Then Irving acknowledged they may need even more than that.

“It’s transparent. It’s out there. It’s glaring in terms of the pieces that we need in order to be at that next level,” Irving said after scoring just 14 points in the Nets’ 117-106 loss to the 76ers on Wednesday night.
