Nets Coach Steve Nash Discusses Kevin Durant, Offseason Drama

After a rollercoaster ride of an offseason, Nets coach Steve Nash believes a state of normalcy has been restored in Brooklyn, especially with his relationship with star forward Kevin Durant.

On June 30, Durant requested a trade from Brooklyn, a year after signing a four-year contract extension with the franchise. But late last month, the two-time NBA champion rescinded his request and decided to move forward after holding a meeting with Nash, Joe Tsai, Clara Wu Tsai and Rich Kleiman in Los Angeles.

That meeting has Nash in a place where he believes the team is “fine” heading into a new season.
