The Nets didn’t just lose two All-Stars in a matter of days. They also lost two big voices in their locker room, two players whose games and records deserved respect, particularly among the younger players on the roster. Now, with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving gone, who will step up?
It’s early of course. Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith have played four games with Brooklyn, Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson only three, but so far, Jacque Vaughn believes he hears two voices that are louder than the others: Dinwiddie and Bridges as he told the media the other night.
