The Nets’ crazy demands for Durant
The Nets, touted as one of the favorites for the title last season, finished the regular season with a 44-38 record, falling short of expectations raised by the combination of megastars Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden. This “Big Three” has never been in tune due to the moods of James Harden finally sent to Philadelphia, and the fact that Kyrie Irving has missed most of the season due to non-vaccination against the Covid -19.
The Nash-Marks tandem no longer seems to find favor in the eyes of Kevin Durant who is desperately trying to force an exchange. The first, a novice coach, arrived in 2020 and has a record of 92 wins for 62 losses in two seasons at the head of Brooklyn.
However, the owner said it would take an astronomical sum to snatch Durant from the Nets, along with players and NBA draft picks, which would result in a complex player trade arrangement that few franchises can afford. Among the teams mentioned are the Boston Celtics, the Miami Heat and the Toronto Raptors, but since the opening of the transfer window, no franchise has managed to meet the expectations of the Nets management.
