Begley: How real is Nets’ recruiting of Serge Ibaka? Real enough to worry other teams

Serge Ibaka played seven years with Kevin Durant in Oklahoma City so in the F.O.K. hierarchy, he’s right up there. The 31-year-old seven-footer is a free agent this fall so it stands to reason that KD would love a reunion, but the Nets are limited in what they can offer.

Would a shot at a second ring be enough to lure him into taking a huge pay cut —from $23.2 million to the TMLE of $5.7 million? Ian Begley of SNY says don’t discount it.
