The Brooklyn Nets' chances of signing both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving appear to be improving. Durant has been most strongly linked to the New York Knicks throughout most of the season, but the situation is believed to have changed.

"The Nets are gaining confidence they can pull this off," said Brian Windhorst on The Jump. "They're continuing to make moves. They've made three moves in the last week. They're right there for a second slot.

"I think they're the frontrunner," added Kendrick Perkins. "I absolutely do. I think the Nets are the frontrunner to land K.D."

"He's not the only person involved in the NBA who has told me exactly that," replied Windhorst. "I am not ruling out the Knicks at all."

Perkins further explained his statement.

"Sources tell me that the Nets are the frontrunner," said Perkins. "We're going to leave it at that."

Not sure why would he leave such a good thing in GSW.
To satisfy his ego perhaps....

Time for Danny to step in and trade Hayward for Durant in a S&T.

Bring them on. They both have loser mentalities. They’ll lose.

Trading for Durant is a huge risk. He won't play for at least a year, he's over 30 and he has an achilles tear...

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

He played with KD, so he’s either friends with KD or has mutual friends.

I love Perk on TV. Very genuine and funny. Great on twitter too.

Even if he only reaches like 80-85% of what he once was, he's still probably a max guy.

Heck a 40% KD is still better than Yabu.. Or 60% of the league for that matter.

I was initially dismissive, but like you said they did play together on the Thunder, so there is presumably at least some connection

Now, that doesn't mean it's true, but it's not something to dismiss outright
I'm bitter.

I really couldn't care less if Durant goes to the Nets. Maybe that is actually good. Kyrie can destroy the Nets in one season and then when KD comes back he will be in the same chaotic franchise that Kyrie left here. In the meantime the Knicks lose hope which I kind of like and the Warriors do not return to their former selves. I just want the Lakers to fail miserably and I want to KILL Kyrie and Brooklyn every time we play them and I hope Kyrie walks off the edge of the flat earth.
