New York, Aug. 3 -More than a month after Kevin Durant’s request to be sold, the situation linked to his future is still stuck. The very high price set by the Brooklyn Nets to sell it was considered so exaggerated by the other teams as to suggest that the franchise does not have all this desire to sell the future Hall of Famer, and according to what was said by several executives of rival teams to Heavy.com, the fact that many of the deals hit the press didn’t help the Nets make many friends around the league. The real news, however, is another: according to what has been written, Kevin Durant will meet directly the owner of the Nets Joe Tsai during this week to clarify his situation. “I have no idea what will come out of that meeting,” a source told Heavy.com. “There are some things that KD is not happy about, but I’m not sure they can be resolved with that meeting. But maybe yes.” In short, right now it is not clear whether this scheduled meeting can lead to a definitive break or a withdrawal of the request to be sold by KD, especially after a month in which nothing has moved.
The possibility of staying in Brooklyn with Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons healthy, paradoxically, could give him the best chance of winning the title, also because to take it the other teams would have to sell a lot of assets and make their rosters around Durant worse. And even for Brooklyn to stay with the current roster would be the fastest way to compete. “My bet is nobody gets traded,” another source told Heavy.com. “Maybe Kyrie, but I don’t see them trading Durant because they wouldn’t be able to get what they should. And I wouldn’t trade him either. He’s signed a contract, to hell with what he wants. I don’t even see him taking a hard line: he’s not one of the ones who would stay out until the exchange is not that kind of person. He is one who always wants to play. The fastest way to be competitive is to keep everyone: in any other case, they would be in trouble for several seasons waiting for some choice to Draft leads to something good. Anyone who comes from a trade, will not be KD. “
