FIND A TRADE PARTNER BEFORE HE
OPTED IN SO THE OPTION OF
KD RUNNING IT BACK WITH KYRIE
DOESNT EXIST SO HE ASKED FOR A TRADE.

The Brooklyn Nets are reportedly taking their time while waiting on the trade market for superstar forward Kevin Durant to fully develop.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Monday on SportsCenter the Nets are seeking an All-Star player and several first-round draft picks in the blockbuster deal.

"The market is still taking shape," Woj said. "I think it's incumbent on some of the other teams to be creative and start bringing to Brooklyn ideas, going out and seeing if they can get players, picks that would put the kind of package together it would take to get Kevin Durant."

He added: "I think the Nets are trying to create an outline for the rest of the league about the kind of package they would want back in a Kevin Durant trade. I think the Rudy Gobert trade to Minnesota started to frame that."

He’s only thinking that because of what Lemedia and LeESPN are putting out.

They’re making it look like KD just got up and decided to quit like a crazy man.

You would think Kyrie is signed to 4 year deal and staying in Brooklyn.

When in reality the Nets are trying to trade Kyrie (the reason why KD is even there in Brooklyn in the first place) possibly even for Russ.

Why wouldn’t he request a trade?

Brooklyn are trying to ship out Kyrie.

Ben Simmons isn’t interested in Basketball.

Why is it wrong for KD to request a trade in light of this?

It’s only Lemedia and Klutch sport shills pushing the narrative that KD has quit for no reason.

I said it before, no team is gutting their core, nor their contending for a 34 year old KD. They want to keep their cores and add KD.

The longer this plays out, the less teams are going to offer. Nets best thing to expect are a stack of draft picks/swaps. shyt, they were part of the trade that set that market.

They know you got a disgruntled KD and Kyrie and teams know those guys will sit out for $40 mil.

Unfortunately, your fans and other teams know you can't contend contend only with KD and Kyrie anymore - they're not beating 2022-2023's best teams. The Nets are not in the position to make crazy demands.

They definitely aren't no doubt.

However, I edited my post saying they're also in a rough spot because KD and Kyrie just got swept and next year teams are stacked much more.

I'm going to be real, if everyone else is healthy they don't got much of a shot next year. Their competition is too stacked: Warriors youth got more experience, Clips are healthy and pulled in Powell/Covington in a trade, Nuggets are healthy, Wolves added Gobert, Pelicans get Zion back, Bucks get Middleton back, etc.

I think both fans and teams know KD/Kyrie ain't getting it done in this climate. shyt, I think those two know they ain't getting it done vs the league's best.

Worst yet for the Nets, teams know this as well and they know KD/Kyrie won't have an issue sitting out games if they're unhappy.

It's basically Harden in Houston all over again. The longer the Nets hold, the more I think the value drops for them. Best bet is probably a three+ team trade but I think the better trade would be an overhaul on draft picks.

Let a contender give you all their future picks/swaps for the next 5 years. Basically what Houston did to them.

Am i wrong in thinking the Nets situation at least for one more year was probably the best situation basketball wise for KD out of all his options? Rather then leave because they didn’t max Kyrie I think if Ben plays it well alongside KD and Kyrie the Nets are as good as anyone in the East.

If KD goes to say Phoenix and they have to give up Ayton Bridges and other pieces and Durant has to rely on Paul who can’t stay healthy in the playoffs anymore is that a better situation then the current roster in BK
