NBA free agency began today at 6 p.m. ET, but early news out of New York sent the league into a frenzy. Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant asked owner Joe Tsai for a trade this morning, listing the Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns as his preferred destinations.
Durant's teammate, Kyrie Irving, opted in to his $36.5 million player option on Monday, but now his future in Brooklyn seems uncertain, as ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported that Durant and Irving still want to play together -- just not in Brooklyn.
