The Nets improbable —no, impossible— off-season reached a dramatic crescendo Sunday night with word that the Nets and Golden State had concluded a double sign-and-trade that will send Kevin Durant, one of the game’s iconic players, to Brooklyn.
Going in the other direction are D’Angelo Russell, Shabazz Napier and Treveon Graham. The Nets will also receive a protected first round pick in the 2020 NBA Draft from Golden State.
Durant’s contract is reported to be $164 million over four years, committing the Nets to nearly $400 million in salary through 2023.
