Free-agent All-NBA star Kevin Durant plans to sign a four-year, $164 million contract to play for the Brooklyn Nets, he confirmed Sunday.

Durant will join free agents Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan, who also plan to sign with the franchise, league sources told ESPN.

When all is said and done, BetOnline is likely to have the Nets among the three teams with the shortest odds to win the 2019 NBA Championship

It was just Friday morning that BetOnline shortened the Lakers odds from +300 to +175.


AS PREDICTED: KNICKS NOT GETTING KEVIN DURANT

The New York Post reported that the Knicks could be the team getting a Durant-Kawhi Leonard combo.  Leonard could still come to the Knicks but Durant definitely will not be.

The Knicks and owner Jim Dolan were not prepared to offer Durant a full max contract because of concerns over his recovery from the Achilles tendon injury that is likely to sideline him for all of next season, league sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne and Adrian Wojnarowski.

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat are finalizing a sign-and-trade deal with the Philadelphia 76ers to acquire star guard Jimmy Butler, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Miami is sending guard Josh Richardson to Philadelphia as part of the deal, sources said Sunday. The Heat will also move guard Goran Dragic to the Dallas Mavericks, ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported.
