The Nets improbable —no, impossible— off-season reached a dramatic crescendo Sunday night with word that the Nets and Golden State had concluded a double sign-and-trade that will send Kevin Durant, one of the game’s iconic players, to Brooklyn.

Going in the other direction are D’Angelo Russell, Shabazz Napier and Treveon Graham. The Nets will also receive a protected first round pick in the 2020 NBA Draft from Golden State.

After missing out on Jimmy Butler at the start of free agency, there is speculation that Daryl Morey has his eyes set on another unhappy superstar ready to move on from his current situation.

He did more than secure a backup option in case the Clippers failed to complete the trade for Paul George that he set in motion.

By forcing the Lakers to wait for him to decide where he would play next season, Kawhi Leonard made certain he was the only other superstar they possibly could land.

By now, you’ve probably heard that Russell Westbrook is on the trade block. With Paul Georgegone the Oklahoma City Thunder are officially out of contention and are rightfully looking to blow up the team and rebuild. Their haul for PG-13 was substantial and the Thunder basically control the Clippers’ draft for the next decade.

The Los Angeles Lakers have re-signed guard Rajon Rondo, it was announced today by General Manager Rob Pelinka. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released.

In 46 games (29 starts) last season, Rondo recorded 14 double-doubles and one triple-double, tallying 9.2 points, 8.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. The 13-year veteran has played in 825 career games (726 starts) for Boston, Dallas, Sacramento, Chicago, New Orleans and the Lakers, with averages of 10.4 points (.460 FG%), 8.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.7 steals.

Number 35 is no more. Just a few days after Golden State Warriors CEO and Co-Chairman Joe Lacob said that no other player will wear #35 for the franchise, Kevin Durant announced a jersey number change.

I guess The Athletic’s Shams Charania didn’t want Brew Hoop to scoop him, so he posted the customary tweet, making this a story that’s no longer a rumor. Which honestly, is unfair to Eurohoops, but there you have it.

The Golden State Warriors have acquired small forward Julian Washburn from the Memphis Grizzlies. Washburn is part of the trade that sent Andre Iguodala, as well as a future first-round draft pick to Memphis.
