What Kevin Durant said about his retirement rumors

The player wanted to leave the Brooklyn Nets and the franchise was not very convinced. The demand for the firing of Steve Nash and Sean Marks is another maneuver to force them out.

Kevin Durant raised more than a month ago at the directive of Brooklyn Nets that he wants to leave the team, find a new destination. The player has left four-year contract for more than 190 million dollars and that complicates the ability of franchises to retain the services of mega stars of NBA.

Negotiations are taking time Mark Steina journalist who specializes in the NBA, published that a prominent NBA manager told him that Durant is more likely to retire than stay with the Brooklyn Nets. Now the Nets forward came out to deny the possibility of stopping playing, and he did so by responding to the journalist’s tweet.

“I know most people will believe anonymous sources before me, but if anyone is listening, I don’t plan on retiring anytime soon. Shit#& is funny at this point.”the player wrote in his personal account.

Rumors will continue until the player’s situation is resolved. He asked to be transferred at the beginning of July and he still has four years left on his contract for less than $200 million. The offers that arrived at the Nets offices did not meet expectations and fell below the minimum claim. A few days ago the player met with the owner Joe Tsai and would have asked for the dismissal of Steve Nash as a coach and Sean Mark as a manager. Something Tsai dismissed through her social networks making public her support for all technical staff working in Brooklyn. Some argue that this is a form of constant pressure to leave; put the equation into negotiation ‘Either them or I go’ knowing that the franchise will not accept it.
