Brooklyn Nets CEO David Levy says the arrival of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving is already impacting Brooklyn's ticket sales, sponsorships and suite sales.
Durant and Irving both signed four-year deals with the Nets this offseason in free agency, spurning the New York Knicks and joining Brooklyn instead since the Nets have a better infrastructure and future than the Knicks.

Even though Kevin Durant is expected to miss the entire 2019-20 season recovering from his Achilles injury, there's still a lot of buzz surrounding the Nets.
Brooklyn made the playoffs last season and now added three All-Stars to the roster in Durant, Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan. Irving, Jordan, Spencer Dinwiddie, Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert should be able to lead the Nets on a deep playoff run sans Durant.
Once KD comes back, Brooklyn will be legitimate title contenders for the first time in years. 2003 was the last time the Nets went to the NBA Finals.
Irving is one of the most entertaining players to watch in the league. He has one of the best handles of all-time and is an elite finisher at the rim. Irving averaged 23.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.9 assists last season for the Boston Celtics while shooting 48.7 percent from the field, 40.1 percent from beyond the arc and 87.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Jordan will get the Nets crowd on their feet a lot, too, with his powerful dunks. Overall, Brooklyn is going to be a fun team to watch.
