After Irving’s decision to stay with the Nets, any suspicion that KD was planning to leave seemed to have evaporated. Instead, GM Marks received his agent’s shock request
A bolt from the blue. Another surreal chapter in what appears to be an NBA soap opera, the Nets actually receive a shocking request from Kevin Durant, who through his manager tells them he wants to sell.
There really is no rest for the New York team’s fans, who appeared to be smiling again following Kyrie Irving’s approval. In fact, for at least next season, Brooklyn could be trying to test the Irving-Simmons-Durant “trident” in search of the right title-chasing chemistry. But with less than three hours on his hands, with Marks determined to strengthen the roster and possibly score a big trade (Ayton looked like a goal), Durant’s manager, Rich Kleiman, told the puppeteer of Nets’ intentions. his famous client: a future far away from Brooklyn. Unbelievable.

The NBA is of course in an uproar, with several worshipers now looking to put together a big package to tempt the Nets, knowing how much a player like KD can change a team’s balance. A Superstar who recently signed a four-year extension requiring a trade is something absolutely rare, even at a very special moment in the NBA when the power is definitely in the hands of the players. However, the Nets have no intention of shutting down potential buyers for what many believe to be the best basketball player in the league right now. Early indications are that Phoenix, a target also cherished by the player, would be in pole position to join KD, with Miami as an alternative. A veritable bombshell, opening up the free hand in the loudest possible way, destined to change the market outlook of the various suitors who will attempt to knock on the Nets’ door. Then, ingloriously, the curtain falls on the Marks-designed Nets project, which became a reality three years ago with the agreement with the Irving-Durant couple. Title dreams in the drawer for Nets fans who won’t soon forget June 30, 2022.
