Since Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Nets on Thursday, his business manager, Rich Kleiman, has been working with Nets general manager Sean Marks to secure a trade.
While “more than half of the league” has strived to put together trade packages and has contacted Brooklyn regarding Durant’s services, it could be very difficult for Brooklyn to deal the 12-time All-Star.
Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix reported that Brooklyn has a “steep asking price” for Durant, and the franchise has no plans to deviate from its bid.
“Two All-Star caliber talents and a cache of draft picks,” Mannix wrote.
