Star basketball player Kevin Durant knows what he wants and he knows what he doesn’t want.
According The Athleticthe Brooklyn Nets player issued an ultimatum to owner Joe Tsai over the weekend making it clear he wanted to be traded unless general manager Sean Marks and head coach Steve Nash were fired.
Durant doesn’t trust the leadership of the team and reiterated his desire to move on. Entering his 15th season in the league, Durant is set to begin the first season of a four-year, $198 million extension signed last summer.
The meeting took place on Saturday, just over a month after Durant, 33, originally requested a trade. Sources described the meeting as “transparent and professional” adds The Athletic.
Durant’s value would still be high. The Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat would be the most likely to welcome him.
Toronto, however, would be very reluctant to include Scottie Barnes in a transaction involving the veteran.
