Nets’ audition season begins in Motown
Brooklyn to open free agent-luring campaign at Pistons
The Nets will have the money to sign not just one, but potentially two maximum-contract free agents next summer.
But the looming question hanging over the Brooklyn-based NBA franchise is who will want to ink a long-term, lucrative deal to play on the corners of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues in 2019?
The Nets’ collective performance over these next 82 games, and perhaps beyond, will help determine whether big-time free-agents-to-be like Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler can envision themselves seriously vying for NBA championships here in our fair borough.
