It’s become a trend: former Nets players tossing shade at their former team in comments to media, suggesting that things in Brooklyn last season were problematic. It’s no secret, of course. Current Nets players, starting with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and even including the usually taciturn Joe Harris have said so. Markieff Morris has commented on it from an opponent’s angle. Sean Marks has said it as well but the commentary by former Nets has to sting.
“I played with some stars, like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and I have to admit that it was quite difficult because the focus was not the team, but more the individual performances of the individual players,” Dragic told a newspaper in his home country of Slovenia in mid-July after he signed with the Bulls.
