A backcourt of two ball-dominant guards, both All-Stars, both with the handles and deep shooting capabilities —one 23, the other 27 and at the peak of their games? Is that possible?
Seems like an odd pairing, D’Angelo Russell and Kyrie Irving. But both Stefan Bondy of the Daily News and Brian Lewis of the Post report Sunday that there is, indeed, interest. Irving is an unrestricted free agent and along with Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard, the big prizes of the off-season.
From @SBondyNYDN “There is continued rumblings that Irving will consider Brooklyn in free agency, and the Nets can get creative to free up enough space for two max deals in July.
