Speculation growing that Nets have inside track on Kevin Durant

(Didn’t think I’d ever be writing that.)

In both a conversation on ESPN’s “The Jump” and in the pages of the New York Times, NBA pundits —and a good friend of Kevin Durant’s — say the Nets are confident they’re in the lead for KD’s services.

In the back and forth on The Jump, Brian Windhorst says the Nets are “gaining confidence” that they’ll sign Kevin Durant.

Kendrick Perkins, a former teammate of Durant’s as well as a friend, responds by saying he thinks the Nets are now the “front-runner” to land KD.
