As the well-known trolling of previous offseasons continues into Friday, Kevin Durant's brother, Tony Durant, may have just given up the answer as to where big man Serge Ibaka would head in the coming hour of NBA free agency on Friday.
Tony commented on an Instagram post asking as to where the veteran NBA big man will be playing next season.
Tony had a simple, one-worded answer: Brooklyn.

Kevin Durant had been rumored to be recruiting Serge Ibaka to the Nets ahead of the NBA free agency. The two share a past together with the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Ibaka remains a close friend ever since.
Ibaka had a career year with the Toronto Raptors, averaging 15.4 points and 8.2 rebounds per game while shooting an astonishing 51.2 percent from the field. The Raptors will surely try to pursue Ibaka if he hasn't decided on a destination as of yet, but even then, their efforts could fall short. Toronto has multiple free agents in the market this offseason that they'll look to retain, which could force Ibaka into a new situation.
Durant has been pursuing a few old teammates this NBA offseason, including James Harden. The Nets are in need of a frontcourt presence, and Ibaka could certainly fill that void if he decides to team up with Durant once more.
The Nets will have their first look at the Kyrie Irving-Kevin Durant duo this season, and the supporting cast could be critical in their success of reaching the NBA Finals. They've already begun filling out the roles through trades so far.
