As Kevin Durant enters his 16th season, the Nets will now appear to once again be contenders in the East and the entire NBA going into the 2022-23 season. This is a signal of control coming back to the owners as the NBA has been viewed as a players’ league. This effectively ends the nightmare that was the 2022 offseason for the Nets that began with speculation about Kyrie Irving’s future with the team and evolved into a full-blown meltdown when Durant officially requested a trade from the Nets with four years left on his contract.

The Nets could be the best team in the league on paper. Or it could be another tire fire of strong-willed personalities and diverse talents that devolves ...

It’s been an exhilarating, fascinating few weeks that kept fans on their toes and the NBA in the headlines in an otherwise dull time in the calendar.

Kevin Durant will return to the Brooklyn Nets next season ending rumors that the former MVP could be traded to the Toronto Raptors.

The Nets, however, were demanding Scottie Barnes in return for Durant and the Raptors were not willing to part with the reigning Rookie of the Year.

However, the meeting Monday has eased whatever tensions existed and Durant appears set to return to Brooklyn for next season.

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets plan to stay together after all, even after the all-star forward asked to be traded earlier this summer.

The Nets believed they had built one in the 2020-21 season after acquiring James Harden to play with Durant and Irving. It would have been hard for Durant to find many better situations, and the Nets likely had little interest in trying to land him one. But with Durant, the Nets can still be one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.

Les Nets de Brooklyn et Kevin Durant poursuivront leur association pour les quatre années prévues au contrat du joueur-vedette.

Ennuyé par des blessures, l’athlète de 33 ans avait été limité à 35 matchs lors des deux campagnes précédentes. Selon le quotidien «New York Post», il aurait perdu confiance en Marks et Nash pour mener le club jusqu’au titre. «Nous nous sommes mis d’accord pour poursuivre notre partenariat, peut-on lire dans un court communiqué de l’équipe.

Après avoir indiqué ne plus vouloir jouer pour Brooklyn, le joueur étoile Kevin Durant a finalement renoncé à être échangé.

Le joueur étoile Kevin Durant se rétracte et reste chez les NetsNBA mardi, 23 août 2022. 11:09 mardi, 23 août 2022. Depuis le début de l'entre-saison, les Nets avaient activement tenté d'obtenir le prix souhaité pour les services de Durant, notamment de la part de Toronto, Boston et Memphis.

Kevin Durant et les Nets de Brooklyn vont poursuivre leur association, même après que le joueur étoile eut demandé à être échangé plus tôt cet été.

La possibilité qu’il soit échangé a retenu l’attention tout au long de la saison morte dans la NBA. Ils « se sont entendus pour continuer à aller de l’avant avec notre partenariat », a dit le directeur général Sean Marks, dans un communiqué. Les chances des Nets sont bien meilleures avec Durant, qui demeure l’un des meilleurs marqueurs de la NBA.

Kevin Durant is staying with the Brooklyn Nets, and it caused a shift in NBA title odds. Where do the Dallas Mavericks stand?

[BetOnline.ag](https://twitter.com/KeithSmithNBA/status/1562115431925792768?s=20&t=arINY2KdWpIbXnltHP1BAg), the Mavericks are currently slotted at 22/1 odds to win the NBA Finals. Entering last season, many analysts projected the Los Angeles Lakers and Nets to face off after the Russell Westbrook trade. There are plenty of other potential threats, such as the LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets, but health has recently been an issue. There's another factor to consider for the Mavericks. With Kevin Durant re-committed to the Brooklyn Nets, the landscape for 2023 NBA title odds has shifted significantly. Dallas later signed JaVale McGee and added Jaden Hardy by trading back into the NBA Draft.

From a trade request to an ultimatum now to an apparent reunion, it's difficult to decipher what the Brooklyn superstar is trying to achieve.

[even had a restaurant in town named after him](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/17141205/kevin-durant-okc-based-restaurant-shuts-name-change) as a result of all the acclaim he brought the area. And just in case he and Irving wanted to be able to put their stamp on the Brooklyn organization, well, that seemed fine by the Nets, too. And in a way, who could really blame opposing clubs when none of us are totally sure what’s motivating Durant most at this point? Can he support a coach and general manager if he feels more compelled to back a teammate that isn’t fully committed? (Minnesota’s trade for Rudy Gobert trade suggested as much.) Secondly, it signals that NBA clubs, too, can’t get a clear reading on what matters most to Durant. In a way, joining the Nets could have been seen as the best of both worlds. In building a contender with Brooklyn, Durant wouldn’t be seen as a mere bandwagon-jumper the way he was by many with Golden State. Durant left that all behind in jaw-dropping fashion when he opted to join the Warriors—the club that had just gone 73–9 and come back from a 3–1 conference finals hole to beat KD and the Thunder—in free agency back in 2016. Is it to play with one of his closest friends, and have Irving’s back, regardless of how costly his choices were? Durant then doubled down earlier this month, reportedly issuing an ultimatum to Nets owner Joe Tsai to either move forward with him—and ditch coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks—or that he’d continue to push for a trade out of town. But who knows how this team will jell, or what drama will ultimately come.) Or is it some combination of the three? [What is it, exactly, that Durant wants?](https://www.espn.com/nba/playoffs/2012/story/_/page/Evolution-120613/nba-finals-oklahoma-city-thunder-kevin-durant-motivation) Is it to have things completely on his terms?
