Power forward was the biggest hole in the Nets’ lineup this past season, and arguably will be the biggest focus of their offseason.
Their starting forwards were in the NBA’s bottom 10 in scoring, shooting, rebounding and plus-minus. Plan A to fix that is signing injured free agent Kevin Durant, whom they’d love to pair with Kyrie Irving. It’s still their dream scenario, Durant’s ruptured Achilles tendon be damned.
NBA executives who spoke with The Post still believe Irving is Brooklyn-bound, even after the Lakers’ acquisition of Anthony Davis created a chance for a Big Three in Los Angeles.
