Basketball star Kevin Durant has given the Brooklyn Nets owner an ultimatum. In an interview with Joe Tsai, the 33-year-old made his displeasure with the sporting leadership clear and, according to the sports portal “The Athletic”, is said to have demanded that coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks be fired. Otherwise he would go.
Durant is unhappy with the franchise’s sporting focus. The Nets had already failed in round one at the Boston Celtics in the past playoffs. During the season, superstar James Harden was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, a sporting blow to the neck.
