Once Kevin Durant asked the Nets to trade him, the focus has been on potential landing spots. And understandably so.
But there has never been a full explanation for the trade demand. And there may be a good reason for that. Because the Nets don’t even know exactly why Durant wants out, according to The Daily News.
A source said the team was aware of Durant’s unhappiness but surprised by his trade request. The assumption is (Kyrie) Irving’s contract drama played a major role in Durant’s discontent, but the Nets haven’t been told specific reasons, a source said.
