It’s pretty much something like this for Nets fans...
Confusion, uncertainty and conflicting emotions as the Nets survey the NBA landscape in hopes of getting a return — no, a “haul” — for Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Now, five days after Durant requested the Nets trade him, whatever talks there’ve been since seems to have cooled and as Brian Lewis writes Tuesday, “league personnel say the Nets have implied if they don’t get what they want, this could well drag on into training camp.”
Brooklyn’s brass seem to believe that they have the leverage with KD under contract through June 30, 2026 at $198 million and Irving having opted into the final year of his deal at $36.
