Watch the NBA long enough and you figure nothing is going to shock you. But the Nets never fail to surprise.
Two years ago, the Nets had the worst record in basketball. Today, they’re in position to get Kyrie Irving … and more than half their fans don’t want him.
Irving is the kind of unguardable player needed to win a championship. He wasn’t just a passenger on the Cavaliers’ 2016 NBA title team but one of the 10 best players on the planet. The Nets are also in the running for Kevin Durant, who would be right at the top of that list when he returns.
