Within hours of free agency, the Los Angeles Lakers and the rest of the NBA world found out that two superstars were leaving their respective teams to join one another.
Kyrie Irving walked away from the Boston Celtics and Kevin Durant left the Golden State Warriors to join the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets also added DeAndre Jordan to the mix to solidify their competitive roster.
No one in their right mind would have predicted this scenario a year ago from today. Durant was a back-to-back Finals MVP and Kyrie Irving was on the team that many anticipated would win the Eastern Conference this past season.
