“Steve Nash and I, along with Joe Tsai and Clare Wu Tsai, met with Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman [agente] in Los Angeles yesterday [segunda-feira]. We agreed to move forward with our partnership. Let’s focus on basketball, with one collective goal in mind: to build an enduring franchise to bring a championship to Brooklyn.” said Steve Marks.
It is worth noting that Kevin Durant wanted to leave the Brooklyn Nets. At least that’s what he reported on the 30th, the journalist Adrian Wojnarowksi, from ESPN. According to the information, the 33-year-old star of the New York team would have formalized a request to be involved in some exchange with another team and leave the franchise.
Wojnarowksi assured that the entire Nets roster was available for trade, meaning there would be a deep roster overhaul for the next edition of the NBA. So Nets general manager Sean Marks and Durant’s agent, Rich Kleimanworked to find a solution and ended up defining the permanence of the American star.
Due to injuries and off-court problems, the team did not take off. In the 20/21 season it was eliminated by Milwaukee Bucksin the Eastern Conference semifinals. Then last season he was run over by the Boston Celtics still in the first round of the playoffs. These successions of failures made Durant frustrated.
