Three former Nets teammates were all back in town together with Denver, and none was surprised at how their supposed superteam broke up and the Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving era ended in Brooklyn.
As a matter of fact, a couple expected it.
“No, [I’m not surprised]. Not really, no,” Bruce Brown told The Post. “No, I think everyone was not. Everyone’s not surprised with what happened, because they both … KD requested a trade, and there was a lot going on in the summer. So I think it was good for both parties to move on.”
Brown said that there was plenty going on with the Nets behind the scenes, and that once Durant had asked out in June and Irving followed with his own melodrama, it went from a matter of if to a question only of when.
