Kevin Durant

According to Wojnarowski ( Twitter link), Irving and Durant had no contact with the Nets after Kyrie picked up his option earlier this week, creating a “sense of inevitability” that a Durant trade request might be coming. The Nets would still be eligible to acquire a player like Deandre Ayton on a maximum-salary contract since he’s no longer eligible to receive a designated rookie extension. Teams are permitted to carry two “designated rookies” but only one can have been acquired via trade, and the Nets already have Ben Simmons. That rules out Brooklyn acquiring a player like, for instance, Bam Adebayo unless Simmons is dealt. He appeared in just 55 games due to a knee injury, but averaged 29.9 PPG, 7.4 RPG, and 6.4 APG on .518/.383/.910 shooting in 37.2 minutes per contest. Multiple reports last week suggested that Durant was mulling his long-term future in Brooklyn, despite being under contract for the next four years on a maximum-salary contract. Word of Durant’s newfound availability breaks with the start of 2022 free agency just hours away, potentially upending many teams’ offseason plans.

With four years on his contract, there's no shortage of teams willing to unload assets for Durant.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 30, 2022 Kyrie Irving's immediate future might be settled with the Brooklyn Nets, but Kevin Durant's is not. Durant's business manager Rich Kleiman tells ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that he and his client are working with Nets general manager Sean Marks to find a trade for the 12-time All-Star.

The Brooklyn Nets' superstar stuns the NBA world with a trade request in the offseason.

Irving had until Wednesday to inform the Nets of his opt-in decision. Durant and Irving are close friends who came to the Nets together in July 2019. The Associated Press reports the Nets have been working with Durant to find a trade partner, and he has multiple teams on his preferred list. The Nets returned this past season thinking title with their core of Irving, Durant and James Harden. It didn’t work out anywhere near as planned. Last season, he averaged 29.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game while playing in 55 games — his most since the 2018-19 season — en route to earning All-NBA Second Team honors. Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant has reportedly requested a trade, per multiple reports.

Durant doesn't have a no-trade clause in his contract, so Brooklyn is able to trade him to whichever team will give them the best value. This news comes after ...

But a trade request from James Harden -- which landed the Nets Ben Simmons from the 76ers -- an MCL injury to Durant and Irving being unable to play in majority of the season due to his unvaccinated status completely shattered those aspirations. However, Irving recently opted in on his $37 million player option for next season, suggesting that both he and Durant would remain with the Nets for at least the 2022-23 season. Durant doesn't have a no-trade clause in his contract, so Brooklyn is able to trade him to whichever team will give them the best value.

Kevin Durant has four years and $194 million remaining on his current deal and will not hit free agency until the summer of 2026 when he will be 37 years old. And in the four he didn't play while recovering from a torn Achilles, the Nets were 0-4. Why? Well, the Rockets are in control of Brooklyn's first-round pick for the next five years because of the James Harden trade. Durant apparently already has a couple of potential landing spots on his mind. Durant's tenure with the Nets didn't quite go as he planned. Granted, he didn't play during the first season of his contract as he recovered from a torn Achilles, but still, the Durant-Irving pairing was supposed to bring a title to Brooklyn.

“Not necessarily a slap in the face, when someone chooses to do something else. “Of course,” Green told Goodwill. “There’s always things you want to prove.

The case for dealing Barnes: Durant gives the Raptors a legitimate shot at winning right now. The Heat were a Jimmy Butler 3-pointer away from punching their ticket to the Finals for the second time in three seasons. They also wouldn't have too hard of a time matching Durant's salary with Pascal Siakam earning the max and Fred VanVleet, Gary Trent Jr. and OG Anunoby each being on middle-tier contracts. Also, Durant is apparently a big fan of Booker. One might have thought that Irving's return would've prevented Durant from requesting a trade ... but here we are.

Every NBA team not called the Brooklyn Nets should be checking its drawer of assets right now to see what they might offer in a trade package for Kevin ...

Try to seize the moment. Barnes, Anunoby, a couple of supplemental players and as many draft picks as the Nets want might be a good starting point. Yes, Barnes had a delightful first season. Toss in five or six draft picks or pick swaps — that’s the kind of haul the Nets will want — and it would be an unprecedented transaction. He immediately makes whatever team he’s on a legitimate championship contender. The centrepiece would have to be NBA rookie of the year Scottie Barnes. If the Nets want to talk seriously, Ujiri and Webster should engage.

Kevin Durant has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets, according to a person with direct knowledge of the seismic decision.

Durant spent three seasons with Brooklyn, not playing in the first of those years while he recovered from the achilles injury. Harden wound up getting traded to Philadelphia for Ben Simmons, who didn’t play at all last season. Durant has played 14 seasons, not including one year when he sat out while recovering from a torn achilles.

Durant has been with the Nets since 2019, but his tenure has been rocky between injuries, losses and turmoil among his teammates.

Even when Irving has been criticized by the media and fans, Durant has publicly supported him. Like I said, whatever happens, the friendship will still be there,” Durant said. Durant, 33, is widely thought of as one of the best scoring forwards in N.B.A. history. “Our friendship is based off who we are as human beings.” “We want to end our careers together,” Irving told reporters at their introductory news conference. Durant and Irving signed with the Nets in 2019 on four-year deals, but last year Durant signed an extension that goes through 2026.

Le joueur étoile Kevin Durant a demandé aux Nets de Brooklyn de l'échanger, selon une source au courant du dossier.

Il a mené le circuit avec deux vols par match, en plus de récolter 21,1 points par match, 9,2 passes et 8,3 rebonds. Murray a été nommé parmi les étoiles de la NBA pour la première fois de sa carrière en 2022. Il a été un joueur étoile à ses quatre dernières saisons, en plus d'avoir été nommé le joueur le plus utile de la NBA en 2021 et 2022. Cette personne s'est confiée à AP dans l'anonymat, car ni le Serbe ni les Nuggets n'ont fait de commentaire officiel. Nikola Jokic et les Nuggets de Denver ont conclu une entente pour une prolongation de contrat maximale de 264 M $, selon une source qui s'est confiée à AP. Cette personne s'est confiée à AP dans l'anonymat, car ni la superstar ni les Nets n'ont fait de commentaire officiel.

Durant has four guaranteed years left on his contract and the former MVP could realistically slot in almost anywhere, but some spots are better fits than others ...

Now, though, he may be the key to pairing another superstar with Lillard. But draft compensation may not be the centerpiece of a potential trade. However, the Suns would have to act quickly: Ayton wouldn't be eligible for a potential trade in the event he signs an offer sheet with another organization. Obviously, Durant isn't a free agent and thus has no say in where he ends up, but the strength of a potential offer from Riley could leave everyone content with the outcome. It seems like Sam Presti has been hoarding draft picks forever, and there might not be a better time to cash them in. Miami owns all but one of its own first-rounders in the next seven years - a 2025 (or 2026) selection to the Thunder is the team's only future obligation.

Just before the NBA free agent market opened, Durant told the Brooklyn Nets he wants to be traded.

Approximately three hours before free agency was set to officially begin on Thursday, Kevin Durant asked Brooklyn Nets ownership for a trade from the team.

Durant has four years and nearly U.S. $200 million remaining on his contract, which means that it may take a haul of players and draft picks to acquire him.

Après tout, et même si KD souhaite partir, il va permettre à son équipe de récupérer de nombreux joueurs prometteurs, ainsi que des tours de draft. Le front ...

Kevin Durant se prend une nouvelle fois une pluie de critiques avec ses envies de départ, ce qui ne surprendra personne, pas même le joueur. Le NY Post vient de réserver sa page de derrière pour la star des Nets, avec une Une tout simplement cinglante. Désormais, les Nets doivent se préparer à des trades majeurs, peut-être avec l’une de ces deux équipes. Un véritable fiasco pour Brooklyn, même si la franchise aura la chance de s’en tirer avec beaucoup d’atouts. Après tout, et même si KD souhaite partir, il va permettre à son équipe de récupérer de nombreux joueurs prometteurs, ainsi que des tours de draft. Entre Kevin Durant et les Nets, l’idylle est déjà terminée. Trois petits saisons à peine, avec un lot de blessures et des éliminations en playoffs, et voilà que la star dit stop. Comme on pouvait s’en douter, les critiques fusent pour le numéro 7, qui a tout simplement été humilié par un journal de New York. La réponse promet d’être cinglante.

NBA - Même si Kyrie Irving a fait jouer sa "player option", il devrait aussi être transféré.

Dans le passé, Pat Riley a toujours obtenu ce qu’il voulait, et on peut compter sur lui pour être inventif s’il veut vraiment Kevin Durant. The Athletic donne une proposition : Irving + un autre joueur (Seth Curry, Royce O’Neale ou Day’Ron Sharpe) , contre Westbrook et les premiers tours de Draft 2027 et 2029 des Lakers. Et ça peut même faire mieux qu’un « sweep » au premier tour… Du côté du Heat, ça reste calme, et deux joueurs seraient intransférables : Bam Adebayo et Jimmy Butler. Le problème du Heat, c’est qu’il n’a pas de premiers tours de Draft à proposer, et les Nets en feraient une condition sine qua non. Certains imaginaient le duo Durant-Irving partir ensemble aux Lakers, mais ça ne se fera pas. En l’état, l’avenir de Durant se joue plutôt du côté de Phoenix pour monter un nouveau « Big Three » avec Chris Paul et Devin Booker. Mais il se murmure que les Nets ne seraient pas très chauds pour récupérer Deandre Ayton, et ils viennent d’ailleurs de prolonger Nic Claxton. Mais l’offre potentielle peut les faire réfléchir : Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges et trois premiers tours de Draft. Si on ajoute Ben Simmons, Seth Curry et éventuellement Russell Westbrook, ça joue les playoffs dès la saison prochaine.

NBA superstar Kevin Durant has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets, according to NBA insiders Sham Charania of The Athletic and Adrian Wojnarowski of ...

Irving had looked to be heading out the door before opting into his $37 million player option, but according to Wojnarowski, Durant and Irving "want to continue to play together," but not in Brooklyn. Durant signed an extension with Brooklyn last offseason and is under contract through the 2025/26 season. According to ESPN, the 33-year-old's business manager, Rich Kleiman, told Wojnarowski that they are working with Nets general manager Sean Marks on finding a trade partner.

La saison dernière en 55 matchs, il a maintenu une moyenne de 29,9 points, 7,4 rebonds et 6,4 aides.

Ils ont été balayés par les Celtics au premier tour. L'avenir de Durant à Brooklyn était incertain depuis quelques temps. Pourtant, lundi, son coéquipier Kyrie Irving a accepté son option de contrat pour la prochaine saison, ce qui laissait croire que Durant et Irving tenteraient de gagner avec les Nets au cours de la prochaine saison. With four years on his contract, there's no shortage of teams willing to unload assets for Durant.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 30, 2022 Kevin Durant aurait demandé un échange aux NetsNBA jeudi, 30 juin 2022. 14:52 jeudi, 30 juin 2022.

Opinions are split on whether the Celtics would be wise to go all out to bring in Kevin Durant. Our John Tomase lays out why paying the ransom to the Nets ...

Durant might put you over the top in 2023, but he could just as easily show his age and you could just as easily get there without him. OK, but the Celtics spent years ignoring incessant calls to break up the Jays, and now that they're on the cusp with one of the youngest cores in the league, they're going to throw it all away in the pursuit of another white whale? Surrounding your max stars with young, cheap talent is the surest way to remain competitive for more than a year. And that's why I ultimately come down on the side of no. That's the only way to compete with a package out of Miami centered around Sixth Man of the Year Tyler Herro and All-Star big man Bam Adebayo. He left Golden State after butting heads with Green and failing to integrate with the homegrown core. Durant's an incredible talent and if healthy, he makes the Celtics the favorites to raise Banner 18. Robert Williams would almost certainly have to be a part of any deal. He joined the Nets amid much fanfare, won just one playoff series in three years, and now wants out. He spent two months last year on the shelf with an MCL sprain. And they're blessed with a young All-Star in Jaylen Brown to serve as the legitimate centerpiece of any deal. They're capable of winning a title, which should appeal to Durant's ring collection.

The Nets star is fed up, and two factors appear to have led to his unhappiness.

The Nets will surely get a generous haul of talent and draft picks for Durant, and perhaps something of value when they offload Irving. They could retool quickly around Ben Simmons—albeit another enigmatic talent—and conceivably be back in playoff contention next spring. The irony of it all is that as the Nets canvass the league for trade offers, they will almost certainly send Irving and Durant to different teams anyway, ending a partnership that spanned just 44 games over three seasons. Now they’re scrambling to salvage their franchise in the wake of what the fan blog NetsDaily is calling, “the single greatest failure by ownership and management in NBA history.” As one insider sympathetic to Durant noted, “Kyrie sabotaged everything,” but Durant is reacting more to the effects than the cause, and he now views the Nets as unsalvageable. On the other hand, he is said to be upset with the team’s stance toward Irving … who was the primary cause of the Nets’ disastrous season. NEW YORK – On a late December evening in 2020, when the state of the world was bleak, Kevin Durant slipped on a Nets jersey and stepped into the Brooklyn spotlight for the first time.

KD's back to doing what he does best, finding a ready-built team and joining it.

He got a lot of plaudits and confirmation as a true NBA legend and a crunch-time hero for winning games in the Finals that the Dubs would have won without him. But hey, as Homer Simpson told us, “If something is hard to do it’s not worth doing.” Durant tried to make the Nets something truly memorable, even noticeable, for the first time in their history. The first time he was open for wooing, he ended up on the greatest team of all-time, the 73-win Warriors that did that without him. Durant knows that Irving isn’t in for the long haul, so why should he be at all? And then after a couple or three years you realize it’s just too much of a hassle and life would be much easier somewhere else, and you leave without ever admitting New York was a pain in the ass. In a lot of ways, it’s the perfect symbol of anyone who moves to Brooklyn. You show up, tell all your friends back home that you’re now a New York hotshot while struggling along and never really accomplishing anything.
