What will the team dynamic be with Kyrie Irving back in the locker room?

Once Kyrie returns from suspension, it’s fair to ask what type of dynamic that there will be between him and the rest of the players in that locker room. His teammates will never come out against him, but they have to feel the burden that he brings upon the team every time he falls into the limelight for the wrong reasons.

It has to wear on the team. So much so that the team has looked looser since he has been away. The bottom line is that Kyrie will be back, whether it’s the right thing to do or not. And the Nets and the players will have to figure out how the handle that situation, for better or worse.

Will the Nets willingly embrace Kyrie or will there be some leftover feelings for how he has been somewhat selfish throughout the past couple of years (in regard to some of his controversies and how they’ve put the team in a bad position)?

It may not be much of a factor, but it’s something that we will have to wait and see.
