Despite all the sturm and drang of a season that saw Brook Lopez come off the bench at times and seemingly be ignored in the fourth quarter at others, Brook Lopez appears likely to return to the Nets, Fred Kerber reports in the Post. The same appears to be true for Thaddeus Young.
Picking up on Adrian Wojnarowski's report last week, Kerber quotes an NBA executive not with the Nets as saying it was always likely.
"That was the word around the league for the longest time, that he wasn’t leaving," said an opposing executive.
