Kyrie Irving and Carmelo Anthony are "pushing" the Brooklyn Nets to sign Carmelo Anthony, according to a source that spoke with Frank Isola of The Athletic.

Anthony hasn't played since the beginning of the 18-19 season with the Houston Rockets.

It is unclear if Sean Marks is willing to take a chance on signing Anthony.

Anthony was scheduled to work out with a group of New York Knicks on Thursday in Manhattan.

Anthony's camp remains optimistic he will sign with an NBA team this offseason.

Brett Yormark will announce his resignation as CEO of BSE Global on Friday.

BSE Global is the outgoing parent company of the Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center.

Joe Tsai is finalizing a $3.5 billion purchase of both the Nets and Barclays Center.

Yormark has spent 14 years with the team in this his second tour of duty with the Nets where he also worked in the late 1990s. 

Joe Tsai will play approximately $3.5 billion for the Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center.

Tsai's deal with Mikhail Prokhorov could be announced as soon as Friday.

BSE Chief Executive Officer Brett Yormark will announce his resignation.

Tsai previously bought a 49% stake of the team at a $2.3 billion valuation.

In 2010, Prokhorov paid $223 million for an 80 percent stake of the Nets and a 45 percent share of the arena. Prokhorov consolidated ownership of both the Nets and the arena that valued the assets at $1.7 billion.

Carmelo Anthony has been participating in informal team workouts and scrimmages with players from the Brooklyn Nets in Los Angeles.

Anthony would still like to sign with an NBA team this season.

It is unknown what level of interest the Nets might have in Anthony.

The New York Knicks may have had interest in signing Anthony if they had also signed Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant.

Joseph Tsai is close to buying the remaining 51 percent of the Brooklyn Nets he does not already own from Mikhail Prokhorov. 

Tsai already owns 49 percent of the team, which he bought for $1 billion last year. The total cost of the team will be $2.35 billion. Tilman Fertitta purchased the Houston Rockets for $2.2 billion in 2017.

The Nets are expected to have an increase of revenues from 10 percent to 15 percent.

Tsai is worth an estimated $9.9 billion.

Kevin Durant essentially stopped talking to his Golden State Warriors' teammates at a certain point in his final season with the franchise.

"There was a point with Kevin Durant when he just stopped talking to his teammates," Haynes said during an appearance on Fox Sports' 'The Herd with Colin Cowherd.' "He was really on an island and didn't have somebody that he was close with on that team. The only person he was close with was Quinn Cook, because they're from the same area. But Quinn is a younger guy that doesn't have much clout within the franchise."

Hayes didn't specify when the change occurred but it did happen at some point after Durant's confrontation with Draymond Green in November. 

"After the Draymond stuff went down and then the New York Knicks chatter started going haywire, Durant just stopped talking," Haynes said. "He felt like if he said something, it would give a lot of credence to people saying he's only thinking about free agency. You would see Durant leaving the arena by himself and entering the arena by himself and really not speaking to anyone."

The conventional wisdom throughout the season was Durant planned on leaving.

"There were a lot of things going on and you could tell everybody knew the writing was on the wall early on that it was going to be his last season on the Warriors," Haynes said.
