The Nets made the biggest free agent splash when they landed Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant to their team next season.
These two top free agents had options this summer as to where they wanted to spend the next few years in their careers. For Irving, playing back home was something he envisioned, and that's the reasoning he gave in an Instagram video he posted on Monday...
Irving's deal is worth $140 million for four seasons, and the New Jersey native will be balling out in front of the Barclays Center crowd that should be riveting this season. The All-Star point guard will be running the show the first season, with Durant likely out all year following his Achilles surgery.
