Stein: Nets ‘exploring feasibility’ of signing DeAndre Jordan to lure Kevin Durant

Marc Stein reported Monday that the Nets are looking into signing Knick free DeAndre Jordan as part of their plan to recruit Kevin Durant. Stein broke the story in a series of tweets...

The Nets are exploring the feasibility of signing Kevin Durant's close friend DeAndre Jordan in free agency, league sources say, in hopes that would make the prospect of teaming up in Brooklyn with Kyrie Irving even more enticing to Durant

The Knicks, of course, hung onto DeAndre Jordan after acquiring him from Dallas in the Porzingis blockbuster in February and have shown interest in re-signing Jordan depending on how the roster shakes out -- interest that naturally rises if Durant chooses Madison Square Garden

Jordan, who turns 31 next month, averaged a double-double last season, playing 69 games for the Mavericks and Knicks.
