Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant and Nets owner met over the weekend to discuss where Durant lies on his trade request that he submitted earlier in this offseason {june 30th}, Durant in this meeting told Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai that you either pick me {KD} or the GM {Sean Marks} and Head Coach {Steve Nash}. Durant made it very clear to the Nets owner that he doesn’t have faith in the Nets direction as of now.
It was reported by Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) August 8 that Durant and Joe Tsai met in London on Saturday and that’s what Durant gave the owner to think about. The Brooklyn Nets have the rights to KD for the next four seasons. Durant signed a massive 4 year $198 million dollar contract in June of 2021 and looks like that deal has already fallen apart in Durant’s eyes.
It’s been rocky ever since the second year of this now third year going on to fourth year experiment with Durant and Kyrie Irving as the Nets big duo, while Durant has been a great player and person on and off the court for Brooklyn but with requesting this trade he’s {KD} now getting lumped into this diva/unreliable-esk player which is just not true.
As it’s been over a month since Kevin has requested to be traded and still nothing everyday it looks like more and more that KD is going to stay in Brooklyn and most people are assuming Joe Tsai is going to pick Kevin over the GM and head coach which is the smart thing to do as neither the GM or coach is at the top of their respected positions.
