Old friends reunited? Name: Durant recruits Ibaka to join the Nets

Beijing time on November 12, according to Forbes reporter Mike Mazzeo, league sources revealed that Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant recruited his friend Serge Ibaka to join the Nets.

The 31-year-old Ibaka became an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he and Kevin Durant established a very good relationship when he played for the Thunder. However, if Ibaka wants to join the Nets, his contract will be greatly reduced. Ibaka's annual salary last season was $23.3 million, but the Nets can only provide a mid-class exception worth $5.7 million. According to previous reports, Ibaka has attracted the interest of many teams before becoming a free agent, including the Lakers, Clippers, Celtics, Heat, Mavericks and other teams. Previously, data expert Hollinger predicted that Ibaka's annual salary will be around 5.5 million US dollars, but given that there are many teams interested in it, Ibaka may get an annual salary offer of around 10 million dollars. In the 2019-20 season, Ibaka averaged 15.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game with a rate of 15.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.2% field goal percentage.
