The Brooklyn Nets “sure seem to believe” they will get commitments from both Irving and Durant, as well as center DeAndre Jordan, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times.

This comes shortly after Stein reported that Brooklyn was expecting a formal commitment from Irving at its practice facility on Sunday evening “in hopes” of pulling Durant away from the Golden State Warriors.
The Nets will have a formal commitment from Kyrie Irving at their practice facility in two hours, league sources say, and — as @NYTSports reported Monday — have been aggressively pursuing a Kyrie/Kevin Durant/DeAndre Jordan trio in hopes of luring Durant away from Golden State
