The Brooklyn Nets are seeking a substantial package in exchange for star forward Kevin Durant after he requested to be traded last week.

Tony, the older brother of Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant, took to Instagram this week to fire back at FOX Sports personality Skip Bayless, who had suggested that the Nets should just hang onto Kevin.
“Uhhhhhhh skip the hell with that and you,” wrote Tony.
Shams Charania of The Athletic had suggested that the Nets could hang to both Kevin and his fellow co-star Kyrie Irving into the start of next season if their asking prices are not met.

Much to the surprise of Brooklyn, there hasn’t been much traction in trade talks regarding the 12-time All-Star.
