NBA free agency news has been breaking all week, much well before the Thursday 6 p.m. ET start of the free agency period. Remember when tampering used to be discussed?
The biggest news of the week was Kevin Durant reportedly demanding a trade from the Nets which broke Thursday morning and essentially clogged the free agent toilet. Putting together a blockbuster trade to certain teams will take much more than a plunger for Brooklyn who don’t have to bow to a deal they don’t want.
So with many teams suddenly trying to see what kind of offer they can put forth for KD, teams who may be interested in dealing for say, Malcolm Brogdon now need to wait and see how the dominoes fall with Durant.
