Ibaka
When the door to the free agency market is officially opened, many people hope that the Nets will make major moves in the first place. After all, they have two superstars Durant and Kyrie Irving and are eager to continue. Reinforcing to increase the hope of winning next season, but they did not do so.
The Nets made a lot of deals before and during the draft. They made several deals with the Pistons and the Clippers in exchange for Landry Shamet, Bruce Brown and Reggie Perry. Now They will be waiting for signings with Joe Harris and some other potential veterans, despite their limited budget.
In recent weeks, the Nets have been involved with many free agents, such as the Raptors' free agent Ibaka. However, although Ibaka and Durant are good friends, due to the limited salary space of the Nets, it may be difficult to meet Ibaka's salary requirements.
However, if Durant's brother can be regarded as a reliable source, then Ibaka's salary cut to join the Nets may become a reality. Famous NBA reporter Brandon'Scoop B'Robinson wrote on Twitter today: “Kevin Durant’s brother said Serge Ibaka will join the Nets.”
Durant’s brother Tony Durant Te commented on a post on social media about Ibaka becoming a free agent. The title of the post was: "Where is Ibaka going?" Tony's answer was: "Brooklyn." Of course, it is not clear now. How much does Barca have to cut to join the Nets, but considering the annual salary of Durant, Irving, Spencer Dinwiddie, Caris LeVille, Torian Prince and DeAndre Jordan next season More than 10 million U.S. dollars, plus Harris may renew the annual salary of about 18 million U.S. dollars, so Ibaka's salary reduction will be very large.
In addition, according to NBA insiders, the Raptors are still eager to keep Ibaka, which almost makes Ibaka's other chasers at a disadvantage. NBA reporter Ian Begley wrote on social media: "Those teams that are interested in Serge Ibaka believe that the Raptors are still a strong suitor."
Ibaka is 31 years old and is a fierce player. Long played an important role in winning the championship in the 2018-19 season, but considering that this offseason may be his last chance to get a fat contract, it's hard to imagine his salary cut for another championship. But considering that Ibaka has earned a salary of nearly $100 million in his career, who knows his true thoughts?
