Nets Star Kevin Durant Asks to ‘Move Past’ Offseason Drama

Nets star Kevin Durant is already sick of answering questions regarding his offseason trade request from Brooklyn that was eventually rescinded in favor of him staying with the franchise.

“Can we move on past that at some point?” Durant asked reporters on Friday.

“I know it’s an interesting story. I know that it took up most of the offseason and drama sells, I get that. But I didn’t miss any games, I didn’t miss any practices. I’m still here, so hopefully we can move past that,” he said.

Reports circulated earlier this summer following Durant’s trade request that he wouldn’t return to the franchise unless general manager Sean Marks and coach Steve Nash were fired.
