    What Happens With Kevin Durant Now?

    He wanted out before. Will he want out again? He's so wishy washy that I wouldn't be shocked if they traded him before the deadline (more than likely in the offseason though). There's no way they will be able to get him another superstar to stand by him, so they might as well trade him to get those first round choices they lost in the Harden trade. By the way, Rockets are probably ecstatic right now.

    He’s outta there and agree with you. No way in hell he would stick around and try to win anything on his own. He’s a front runner. Suns probably go after him.

    if he was an alpha male he would have never have left OKC to join the Thunder. seeing how he has been i say he demands a trade unless they can somehow pull a major superstar in something no one is talking about.

    reports are he's been in contact with the nets brass over what's going on

    i remember a nets home game, they had kyrie and durant on the big screen, kyrie tried to hold up kd's hand and kd refused

    joe public thinks he wants out, but the guy has said nothing. they just assume

    He will be fine. Nets improved and they are 12 deep. They will probably make another move to get something because you need 8-9 in the playoffs. Don't sleep on them.

    He's an NBA diva and will probably demand a trade soon regardless and as soon as he gets healthy again.

    SAS is reporting that Durant is on the verge of potentially being moved, whatever the penetrate that means.

    I don't think Durant & Tatum would fit well. The past & present captains of team USA. Too similar.

    C's would be fkn crazy to trade JBrown at 26 for KD. All this is a smoke screen by the Nets to try to upset the JB/JT tandem and BOS. Ain't happening!!!

    i hope so...objective is 1. beat celtics, then 2. beat celtics after that 3. pause, beat celtics

    unreported that's what thisc circus is ALL about. they able to beat the celtics, kyrie gets his 4 year deal easy. marks was in attendance in the garden watching that butchery

    i'm hoping somehow they move harris who is in 2nd place for most disappointing, with ben simmons being easily by far THE MOST disappointing player in the entire nba

    simmons has 0 trade value. you would have to pay teams with picks to take him

    i'm sure they use these tv personalities, on both sides. celtics may be getting concerned after the trade, putting it out there brown for kd. or the nets. brown is not half the player kd is. taytum closer.

    there was a report out there nets owner tsai didn't want kyrie to go to the lakers. now, who would do that besides someone in kyrie's camp or the lakers camp. and why would the lakers put it out there that the issue is kyrie wants 4 years, when everyone knows he wants to go to la-because they know they probably lost the guy and that's their way of getting an excuse out-MAYBE

    they play these media guys like fiddles to try to get what they want. all sides

    latest maybe nets get anunoby. if true they are looking to choke out the celtics in the defensive end with elite defenders.

    people say, they'll miss scoring. if they need scoring they have curry mills harris and yuta on the bench, all open 3 guys, and they have kd

    You can't really be serious (albeit obviously biased). There's a reason that the offseason supposed trade didn't happen and it's that Brown is probably 90% of Durant and he's got 10 plus years ahead of him.

    right now, i believe brown is NOT HALF the player kd is. no question about it

    celtics fans won't even trade brown for kd straight up. that's because they are celtics fans, blinded, they tend to think the only team that has ever existed in the nba is them

    if the celtics lose brown they are still favored to win the title. if the nets lose kd, all hope is lost.

    without kd, the nets can barely reach .500. without brown, not a huge difference in their chances to win a game.

    brown is a great player but kd is elite

    that said you have a point, younger doesn't get injured, on that alone it might be worth the trade, but as for performance right now it's not close

    Definitely no where near 90% of KD lol. But he's good enough and Boston is good enough to win it all right now, they don't need much else. If they should trade anyone it should be Al Horford so they can get a legit post scorer. But his contract is ridiculous.

    he has 3 years on his contract after this year so it will be wasted.
