The Nets vastly improved infrastructure has reportedly impressed Kyrie Irving, who is leaning toward signing with Brooklyn.
The team hopes it wins over Kevin Durant as well.
Even though Durant officially became a free agent Wednesday — and Caesars installed the Nets as favorites to sign him — beating out the Warriors, Knicks and possibly even the Clippers for the injured star’s signature is going to take a stellar recruiting job.
But after his Achilles injury has put the Warriors’ medical staff under a microscope — and Andre Iguodala’s comments turned up the focus — the Nets’ well-regarded medical and performance teams should be an even more pronounced part of the franchise’s recruiting pitch.
