Best trio but that doesn’t always equate to the best team.

They have depth and defense issues.

It should be, Kyrie and Harden already player together in team USA and showed great chemistry. KD can fit in anywhere, he doesn't even take many shots.

Kyrie played good defense this year, and Harden is capable, they'll be fine.

Three ball dominate nut cases with a history of being a team cancer, and have all shown that they are more concerned in their individual glory than team success. Two out of the three are already missing in action from their teams, breaking Covid rules and not returning calls to their coach’s.

What could go wrong?

They are still one of the deepest teams in the league even after this trade.

Shamett, Harris, TLC, Green, Claxton is their bench with Chioza and Johnson for even more depth. They are loaded.

The addition of Brown to the starters was a huge boost to the defense which has been good since Nash made the move.

They likely will be middle of the pack defensively which is more than good enough with all the firepower.

When all 3 are on the court they have two other guys that don't need touches in Brown and DJ.

The least likely trio to all be on the floor together at the end of the season
Full of sound and fury; signifying nothing

Covid interruption made an impact. And this team clearly has more talent.

It's not an excuse, but it's a once in a lifetime situation possibly.

There's no other star trios out there.
Like three all stars (this year or last year). At least the 3rd person isn't on kyries level, since there's plenty of comparable duos.

Current best backcourt by landslide is the Portland boys. 4th best offense. 5th best offense is Brooklyn and they haven’t had their stars every game. They seem like they’ll be fine.
