Will he or won’t he sit out the beginning of the 2022-23 season if he hasn’t been traded by the opening of camp? That may be the big question when looking at the Kevin Durant situation ... and the Nets future.
Now comes Marc Stein who reports that the day after KD requested a trade, he picked up a check (okay, more likely an electronic deposit) worth more than $10.7 million and will receive another $10.7 million six days into training camp, on October 1.
If it wasn’t sufficiently audacious that Durant is demanding a trade before playing a single game under the four-year, $194 million contract extension he signed in August 2021, there’s even more to consider.
