The Brooklyn Nets could lure Serge Ibaka away from the Milwaukee Bucks during NBA free agency
Out of all the teams previously listed, the Brooklyn Nets seem to be the most obvious franchise that could lure Serge Ibaka away from the Milwaukee Bucks in NBA free agency.
First and foremost, the Nets are set to have a significant portion of their frontcourt eligible to hit free agency. Andre Drummond, Blake Griffin, Nicolas Claxton, and LaMarcus Aldrige are all set to hit the open market, and the chances of Brooklyn keeping all of them are rather slim. In the event that they need to add some depth, Ibaka would be a perfect target for the Nets. He would provide robust defense down low, which is something Brooklyn desperately needs more of this offseason.
It is common knowledge that the Nets can score the ball, given that they have two of the greatest scorers in the NBA today in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, but their defense has been a weak point over these past few years. Adding a piece like Ibaka would not solve their defensive issues entirely, but his presence could undeniably help them improve mightily on that side of the ball due to the interior protection he provides inside.
It would not be surprising to see Kevin Durant, yet another former teammate of Ibaka’s with the OKC Thunder, give him a call this offseason with hopes of reuniting.
