NBA pre-season bold predictions: The Brooklyn Nets will be the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. 

Heading into the 2022-23 NBA season, the Brooklyn Nets are easily one of the most difficult teams to read. They are one of the most talented rosters in the league but went through some difficulties during the offseason.

So much so that it’s thrown off the feeling surrounding this season. However, I predict that the Nets will be able to right the ship and will finish the regular season as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Can the Brooklyn Nets overcome the offseason?

Of course, this entire premise gets thrown out the window if they can’t get over what took place during the offseason. That means both the team and coaching staff looking past the public issues between Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and the team.

This is something that will have to be discussed and figured out early. And if it isn’t sorted through early, I’m not sure what hope they have of getting through it at all. But if they can get through all the mess that transpired during the offseason, this is one talented roster.
