Kevin Durantplayer of NBA fur Brooklyn Nets, was candid about his desire to have been traded by the franchise during the last off-season. shirt 7 left the Golden State Warriors in 2019 and went on to defend the New York team since then. However, the All-Star took the opportunity to talk about the fears he felt about remaining in his current team.
“I want to be in a stable environment as we try to build a champion culture”explained Durant. “I had doubts about this scenario in Brooklyn and so I voiced that concern to Joe [Tsai] (team owner). I made a four-year commitment to this franchise, but a number of uncertainties have surfaced in our team over the past season.”
The player also completed, noting that he would not be dissatisfied with the final outcome of the conflict; the 33-year-old ended up staying in Brooklyn: “We entered into an agreement that, in short, the best thing for everyone would be to move forward. I like the moves that Sean [Marks] closed in the off-season and changes in the team. I know we screwed things up last season, but it’s not about that anymore. I have faith that the team and I have the same goals going forward.”
Although he tried to force his way out of the Nets, the winger said he recognized the franchise’s stance, which insisted he stay: “I’m certainly not disappointed that it wasn’t traded. We still have a great team that can compete. Also, I know I’m too good for one team to just ‘give’ me to another. I admire the stance of Joe and Sean (general manager) in this impasse, as they came to me and said it was too valuable to trade.”
IT WAS NOT THIS TIME
Stephen Currywhich works for Golden State Warriors at NBA, opened the game about Kevin Durant and the chances of playing again alongside the current shirt 7 of the Brooklyn Nets. Amid rumors in the last window about a possible transfer back from the winger to the San Francisco team, Curry confirmed, in an interview with “Rolling Stone” that the move was carried out behind the scenes.
“There was an internal conversation, but it was more or less like ‘is he available, what do you think?’”pointed. “All the teams talked and obviously in our situation they would ask me what I thought. But I think some things happened in his life because he believed in people close to him, making him feel at ease all the time. So with all that, I understand, after playing alongside him and getting to know him. I love that guy”.
