Kevin Durant wants out of Brooklyn just three years after he and Kyrie Irving teamed up on the squad.
Just days after learning Irving opted into his deal to play another year, Durant wants out.
According to a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Nets general manager Sean Marks “is working with Kevin Durant and his business manager Rich Kleiman on finding a trade for the franchise star.”
According to Woj, the relationship between the two seems to have been a factor as they have not talked since Irving’s decision to opt into his contract.
“Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving had no contact with the franchise after Irving opted into his deal on Monday, and a sense of inevitability existed that Durant would eventually ask for a trade, sources tell ESPN,” Woj said. “It happened today.”
Just last offseason, Durant signed a four-year, $194 million contract extension with the Nets that was set to kick in during the 2022-23 season.
