Somehow, despite all the melodrama and hysteria, the Nets have managed to hold onto both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Now they head into training camp with the best roster of general manager Sean Marks’ tenure, the most loaded since the Jason Kidd era two decades ago.

But that alone won’t get the Nets to the Finals like those Kidd teams, and it certainly won’t guarantee the franchise’s first NBA title.

If the disappointing past year — which crescendoed this summer with Durant’s trade request and attempt to get general manager Sean Marks and coach Steve Nash fired — has taught them anything, it’s that talent isn’t enough.

“On paper, we definitely have some of the best talent in the league, but as we’ve seen in the past, it takes more than that,” Nets center Nic Claxton warned this week. “So we’ve just got to come together and just all work towards the same goal, which is winning the championship.”
