Kyrie Irving will be joining Kevin Durant in New York. Just not the borough everyone expected.
Irving and Brooklyn had been linked for quite some time, and just before NBA free agency opened Sunday, ESPN reported the two sides will agree to a deal.
Everything the Nets have done up to this point has been about landing two max free agents this summer. Now they’ve got both Irving and Durant, who is also planning on signing with Brooklyn, according to multiple reports. DeAndre Jordan, a Durant confidant, is also reportedly heading to the Nets.
