That Kidd/K-Mart Nets team benefited from an all time low in the eastern conference. That 01-03 period was brutally awful in term of quality for the east.
The Knicks fell off by that point.
The Heat were old as fukk and crippled by injuries.
The Hornets had a nice team but too inury prone.
The Bucks were dismantling.

Detroit & Indiana were building some great teams (too bad the Pacers fukked themselves over)

Put them in the west and they're at BEST a top 6 team. Lakers, Spurs, Mavs, Kings & Blazers were all better than them. I'm not even sure they were better than the Wolves tbh
