The rumor mill spun back up into third gear this week when Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant reiterated his trade demand while giving Nets owner Joe Tsai only one alternative: that he’d stay if Tsai replaced both the general manager, Sean Marks, and head coach, Steve Nash.

As soon as the news broke of Durant’s ultimatum — trade him or replace everyone above him — Tsai fired back on social media.
