Report: KD, Kyrie plot NY union

One side of the bridge or the other, a Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving pairing in New York is becoming more likely, ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported Thursday. While hedging that the Warriors remain an option with the power to give Durant $57 million more on a five-year deal than any other team, Windhorst and Durant confidant Jay Williams, the former Duke star, pointed to Durant and Irving hooking up in Brooklyn to play for the Nets when free agency begins June 30. Durant and Irving have player options that would need to be declined by June 29 to become unrestricted free agents, but that's considered mere formality at this stage.
