After Durant’s trade request on June 30, the Nets engaged in conversations with almost every team in the league, according to sources. This summer, the Nets believe they have improved the roster and have a championship-ready team. After being swept by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Nets have been surrounded by uncertainty. Sources: Kevin Durant informed Joe Tsai that he does not have faith in the Nets‘ direction. Durant and Tsai spoke in London on Saturday and sources described the discussion as transparent and professional. The meeting took place a year to the day that Durant agreed to a four-year, $198 million contract extension with the Nets and barely over a month after his initial trade request on June 30.

Sources characterized the meeting as "transparent and professional" to Charania. Durant does not have faith in the team's direction and reiterated a desire to move on. That is the ultimatum Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant gave owner Joe Tsai during a weekend meeting, reports The Athletic's Shams Charania, when the 12-time All-Star made it clear that he wanted a trade unless general manager Sean Marks and head coach Steve Nash were fired.

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Kevin Durant has given Nets owner Joe Tsai an ultimatum.

The Toronto Raptors are still in the hunt for Kevin Durant. The 33-year-old NBA superstar has asked the Brooklyn Nets to trade him.

While he’s getting up in years, Durant is still a force on the court. Last season was a disaster for the Nets, who finished with a 44-38 record before being swept by the Celtics in the first round. The Celtics are reportedly willing to include Jaylen Brown in a trade, which is an indication that any potential deal involving Durant coming to the Raptors will have a very high price tag.

Per the report, Durant met with team owner Joseph Tsai over the weekend and told him to choose between himself and the pairing of head coach Steve Nash and ...

Kevin Durant n'hésite jamais à montrer les crocs pour rembarrer ses détracteurs, mais un internaute n'a pas reculé face au double champion...

Je n’aime pas vraiment avoir une voiture de merde, lol – j’aime résoudre des problèmes. Quand une voiture tombe en panne, tu peux la réparer – tu n’as pas besoin de mettre la voiture à la poubelle et d’aller en chercher une autre… Ce dernier ne s’est d’ailleurs pas arrêté là, lâchant une sublime réponse à KD en usant d’une métaphore aussi originale que cinglante pour l’enfoncer un peu plus : C’est ce qui s’est passé lorsqu’il a rejoint les Warriors en 2016, et l’été 2022 semble prendre la même voie, l’ailier cherchant à quitter les Nets après trois années infructueuses.

Simmons did not end up playing for the Nets, stemming from a combination of back issues and mental health struggles. He’s had to deal with so much stuff as a head coach, a first-time coach: trades, injuries, COVID, it’s just a lot of stuff he’s had to deal with and I’m proud of how he’s focused and his passion for us. Similarly, in Boston, rumours that Jaylen Brown may be involved in trade scenarios never materialized. Durant has issued fewer public comments on the team's construction, but the Nets themselves have been diligent about hastily assembling a contender around him — sometimes to their detriment. How the Nets navigate the latest ultimatum in a saga that has consumed much of the NBA off-season, remains to be seen, though it is hard to envision a scenario in which the superstar expressing his explicit dissatisfaction leads to more leverage for Brooklyn in trade talks. Harden was subsequently dealt at the trade deadline last season for another maligned star, Ben Simmons, who had been embroiled in an untenable situation with the Philadelphia 76ers as well.

All-Star forward Kevin Durant met with Brooklyn Nets owner Joseph Tsai recently in regards to his trade request made this offseason.

Vaughn was a candidate for the head coaching position before the team hired Nash as well. It does not appear that he wants to be playing for an organization run by Sean Marks and Steve Nash anymore, which is a bit surprising given that these internal issues have not been brought to light over the last couple of seasons. The Raptors, Celtics and Heat have remained engaged in trade conversations with the Nets for Durant through the last several weeks and a lot of speculation of a potential Boston-Brooklyn trade has risen due to the fact that the Celtics could possibly look to deal All-Star wing Jaylen Brown in a deal for Durant. Should Joseph Tsai commit to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, firing Sean Marks and Steve Nash before the start of training camp in September, who could the Nets realistically hire in such a short amount of time? Kevin Durant has always been fond of current Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue, leading many to believe that Durant wanted the Nets to hire him over Nash in 2020 and Kyrie Irving has always been close with Los Angeles Lakers assistant Phil Handy. The big question now is not whether or not Kevin Durant will miss training camp as he waits on a response from Joseph Tsai and the Nets, but whether or not the Nets will accommodate Durant and move on from Sean Marks and Steve Nash.

Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai might have to choose between superstar Kevin Durant or coach Steve Nash and GM Sean Marks.

The first part of that equation is more difficult than the second, but finding a new coach and staff at this point in the offseason isn’t easy either. — Trade Durant and keep Nash and Marks. No team wants an unhappy player, especially as he enters the first year of a four-year extension worth $194.2 million. There’s no guarantee Durant would want out after a season or two, and catering to stars hasn't helped the Nets at all in the past three seasons. Regardless of what you think of Nash as a head coach, he’s never had a full roster or one deep and well-rounded enough to compete. The trio played just 16 games together because of injuries and Irving’s decision to not get the COIVD-19 vaccine, making him ineligible to play in most Nets home games in the 2021-22 season because of New York City’s vaccine mandate. Harden, too, wanted out, and before free agency began on June 30, Irving looked for potential trades and his situation – no matter what anyone says – remains unresolved.

La vedettes des Nets de Brooklyn ne voudrait plus jouer pour l'entraîneur-chef Steve Nash, ce qui aurait mené à sa requête d'échange.

Toujours selon le média spécialisé, les Nets ont parlé à pratiquement toutes les équipes de la NBA afin de trouver un terrain d’entente pour transiger leur talentueux, mais controversé, joueur de 6 pi 10 po. La saison morte rocambolesque des Nets ne fait donc que se poursuivre, eux qui ont même considéré transiger leur autre vedette, Kyrie Irving, après avoir échoué dans leur tentative de prolonger son contrat. L’athlète de 33 ans n’a plus confiance en l’ancien joueur canadien et le directeur général Sean Marks pour mener à bien sa quête d’un troisième championnat de la NBA, selon des sources du média The Athletic. Durant aurait même fait part de ses doutes au propriétaire des Nets, Joe Tsai, réitérant sa demande d’être transigé. Il aurait même imposé un ultimatum à Tsai, demandant de choisir entre lui ou Marks et Nash.

In a face-to-face meeting this past weekend, K.D. reportedly told Joe Tsai he doesn't have faith in the Nets' direction.

As it pertains to Marks, it's difficult to see exactly what issues Durant has with Brooklyn's general manager, who is a well-respected front-office executive around the league. As we inch closer to the start of training camp, there's always the possibility Durant could still be a member of the Nets when the 2022-23 season begins. However, Nash's tenure started off rocky when Irving said on Durant's podcast that he doesn't really see the team having a head coach in terms of leading the team, shortly after Nash was hired. While the Nets have fallen short of their championship aspirations in each season Durant has played for them, it's surprising to hear he's essentially calling for the dismissal of both Nash and Marks. Especially as it pertains to Nash, who initially received support from Durant in the hiring process due to the time the two spent together in Golden State. Nash has compiled a 92-62 record in two seasons with the Nets, including playoff appearances in both years. The Nets are having difficulty finding other teams to help facilitate a trade, which given the high asking price for a player of Durant's caliber, that's not entirely surprising. It's been over a month since Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant requested a trade just hours before free agency started, and there hasn't been anything to suggest that a transaction is imminent.

The Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat remain the most significant candidates to acquire Kevin Durant.

Last season, the 33-year-old averaged 29.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 6.4 assists in 55 regular-season games. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, the Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat remain the most significant candidates to acquire the Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant who told team owner “he does not have faith in the Nets’ direction.”

The Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors will likely not complete a KD trade.

With the Nets now finding themselves in an even more complicated situation, another element of Charania's story has seemingly gone overlooked. Compromising that for Durant would have gone against this vision, which was successfully completed with their most recent title. The organization could either trade the two-time Finals MVP, or they could relieve head coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks of their duties.

The “bad center” is DeAndre Jordan, who was signed because that was part of the deal to land the two stars. Or maybe they call Durant’s bluff — he’s under contract through 2026, after all — and start the year with both. For those keeping score at home, the “good coach” is now-Warriors lead assistant Kenny Atkinson, who was the Nets coach when Durant and Irving first joined, but was fired before the first season of the superstar pairing. Just a few years after signing with the Brooklyn Nets alongside his best friend Kyrie Irving, Durant — a few months removed from getting swept out of the first round of the playoffs — asked for a trade. I could spend a lot of words trying to poke fun at it, but my friend and colleague put it succinctly and perfectly. The Golden State Warriors are, gratefully, in the middle of streak almost entirely devoid of drama.

Durant n'est pas un joueur autonome ; il reste quatre ans et 198 M$ à son contrat avec les Nets, qui ont sans doute des exigences énormes envers toute offre.

« Je sais qu’il y a toujours des conversations entre les joueurs, leurs agents et les clubs. Par contre, nous n’aimons pas les demandes d’échanges et nous n’aimons pas voir les choses se dérouler de cette façon. » La saga a commencé le 30 juin, lorsque Durant a déclaré aux Nets qu’il voulait un échange, alors que débutait la période d’autonomie dans la NBA.

The teams most likely to acquire Durant appear to be the Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics, and Miami Heat, according to Shams. All of those teams are in the ...

Beyond the Lakers, teams out West that make at least a modicum of sense for Irving are the Mavericks, Minnesota Timberwolves, and possibly the Los Angeles Clippers. The Mavericks lost Jalen Brunson to free agency and have done next to nothing to replace him. This instability has an impact on the entire NBA. While the Nets themselves are unlikely to get better after these trade demands are fulfilled, the team that acquires Durant will be getting at least a top 7 player in the NBA. Durant is under contract for the next four years, and while the last four years show why it’s difficult to count on him to be around the entire time, he’s still Kevin freaking Durant. While the Nuggets are confident in what they have, it would be better for them if they didn’t have another contender to worry about. Durant and Kyrie Irving signed with the Nets in 2019 to form what was initially thought to be a new super team in Brooklyn. Though Durant sat out the entirety of the 2019-20 season recovering from a torn achilles, his return in 2020-21 validated the change in scenery with Durant playing like the best player in the world very often. As of now, Tsai appears steadfast in his support of Nash and Marks, meaning Durant is likely still out of the door before the start of the 2022-23 season. Durant does not want to remain a member of the team unless both head coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks are let go.
