The trade talks around Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant have slowed down due to the demands of the Nets in the trade package.
Kevin Durant’s request to be traded rocked the NBA community as a whole. It is anticipated that a team will need to make the largest offer in NBA history in order to acquire KD. It is one of the key causes for the lack of a definite favorite to get KD.
Durant still has four years left on the Nets’ maximum contract, but he wants to move on from the organization. The way the Nets handled KD’s close friend Kyrie Irving undoubtedly had a significant impact.
After the trade talks regarding the Brooklyn Nets star slowed down, fans on Twitter believed that KD should play for the Nets only. They believe that not playing will have an impact on his legacy, which he should avoid at all costs. Here are some of the best reactions to KD’s stalled trade market.
KD had already made it clear that his preferred destinations were Miami and Phoenix. It looks like Phoenix won’t be able to trade for Durant considering what happened with the Ayton deal.
That leaves the Miami Heat as the only possible team to bring in Kevin Durant. Even though the Nets aren’t impressed with the assets that they have offered, if KD really wants out, the Nets will be forced to accept a smaller package than their expectations.
