In an NBA landscape that is more perimeter-oriented than at any time in its history, there are reports the Brooklyn Nets may go all-in on a star-powered backcourt by pairing All-Star D’Angelo Russell with two-time All-NBA selection Kyrie Irving.
Anthony Puccio of SportsNet New York reported there is some interest in the Nets organization in pairing the two combo point guards in a star-powered backcourt that could rival some of the NBA’s other elite tandems at the guard spot.
SNY also learned recently that the Nets would not shy away from signing Irving even if they re-sign point guard D’Angelo Russell.
