Nets reportedly have not given up hope Durant rescinds trade request

After testing the market and seeing his trade value around the league did not give him the leverage he hoped in a push for a long-term contract extension, Kyrie Irving has settled in on playing with the Nets next season. Irving is not pushing for a trade anymore (in his case, if he has the All-NBA level season he is entirely capable of, he will be a free agent next summer with options).

The Nets hold out hope Kevin Durant views his situation through the same lens and rescinds his trade request, according to Zach Lowe of ESPN.
