Kevin Durant

The Milwaukee Bucks were reportedly among teams that checked in on the price tag of Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant, we offer a trade package.

Ultimately, the Milwaukee Bucks have five second round picks in the next three years, which they are unlikely to hold on to. If this offer isn’t enough, the Milwaukee Bucks could include recently drafted forward MarJon Beauchamp and the deal would still be successful, but as it stands I believe this to be a fair trade. While the Milwaukee Bucks were likely just gauging the price based on the fact that they weren’t reported to make an offer, [we as fans are still left wondering](https://behindthebuckpass.com/2022/08/22/reactions-milwaukee-bucks-showing-interest-kevin-durant/), “what would the Milwaukee Bucks have to trade to Brooklyn to land Kevin Durant?”

The end of Kevin Durant's trade demand comes after he met with members of the Nets' brain trust in Los Angeles.

Simmons underwent a microdiscectomy procedure in May to address pain located in a herniated disk in his lower back, but he is expected to be healthy for training camp. Irving, who played in 29 games last season after choosing to not get the COVID-19 vaccine, created a list of teams he would have liked the Nets to consider working with on a sign-and-trade deal. During that meeting, Durant wanted Tsai to choose between him and the brain trust of Nash and Marks.

The Nets said the team would continue its partnership with two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant.

Durant, a two-time NBA champion and former MVP, has four years on his contract. Reports of Durant potentially being traded to Boston and Memphis circulated - Kevin Durant will remain with the Brooklyn Nets this upcoming season, the team said Tuesday.

NBA championship odds were updated in the wake of Tuesday's news that Kevin Durant was going to staying with the Brooklyn Nets.

Over a massive sample size since 2020, Phoenix has consistently proven they’re one of the league’s best without another superstar being thrown into the mix." [Kevin Durant trade to Suns? According to these odds, the Celtics have a 46.5% implied chance to land Durant, while the Suns are at 28.6%. More often than not these stars have been traded to their desired team, despite those teams seemingly not having the best trade packages. The Suns are now considered to be behind the Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat in their efforts to trade for Durant." [Kevin Durant trade to Phoenix Suns? Rexwell Villas writes: "Kevin Durant is an asset still worth targeting for the Suns, whose championship window remains very much open. A trade to a conference rival would be a major blow to the Suns, particularly given they’re still considered a top two or three team in the West. Obviously the best case for Phoenix is to acquire him, particularly if they can put Durant next to Chris Paul, Devin Booker and even potentially Deandre Ayton. But the Suns have yet to find a suitable deal — and that is largely why they appear to be behind Boston, Toronto and Miami in the Durant sweepstakes." While he doesn’t necessarily fit the bill of what Jones typically likes in a point guard, he can run an offense so I wouldn't entirely rule it out.

Las probabilidades de 9-1 empujan a Brooklyn por delante de Irving, quien jugó en 29 partidos la temporada pasada después de elegir no vacunarse, creó una lista de equipos con los que le hubiera gustado que los Nets consideraran trabajar en un acuerdo de firma e intercambio. Durante esa reunión, Durant quería que Tsai eligiera entre él y el grupo de expertos de Nash y Marks.

Luego de solicitar su salida, Kevin Durant acordó continuar con los Nets de Brooklyn, con los que aún tiene un contrato por los cuatro años.

El equipo de Brooklyn tuvo una campaña marcada por los altibajos y las polémicas (dentro y fuera de la cancha) y lo eliminaron en la primera ronda de los playoffs por los Celtics de Boston con un rotundo 4-0. “Hemos acordado continuar con nuestra asociación. [Durant](https://latinus.us/2022/02/10/james-durant-titulares-estrellas/), que a finales de junio pidió a los Nets de Brooklyn ser traspasado, continuará en la franquicia neoyorquina de la NBA tras reunirse este lunes con los máximos responsables del equipo.

Sean Marks sigue creyendo que unir a sus dos estrellas con el regreso de Ben Simmons, Joe Harris y los activos obtenidos en el mercado deberían ser suficiente para aspirar al anillo esta misma temporada. [adelantó](https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1562092553364770820?s=20&t=P9sUPo0ihwKVADZK13WxMQ) Shams Charania y oficializa Brooklyn en su cuenta de Twitter Kevin Durant y su agente Rich Kleiman se reunieron ayer en Los Angeles con la cúpula de los Nets. Toronto, Boston y Miami llevan semanas siendo los que más se han acercado a dichas demandas, pero finalmente parece que ninguna oferta será suficiente.

KD and the Nets are running it back after the superstar rescinded his trade demand. What does it mean for Brooklyn, Kyrie and the East race?

Marks: On paper, the Nets should be in the top three in the East. If I had to bet today, I would guess "fact" only because of the Durant news, but everything can change in an instant. The big question is whether the Nets reward Irving with a four-year, $209 million extension before the season ends. A healthy mix of Irving, Durant and Simmons should be worth a few more wins, certainly enough to challenge for home-court advantage in the playoffs. The Nets gave a huge jolt to a normally quiet time in the sports calendar. Could the Nets win the East? Friedell: Assuming health for their key players -- and most importantly, a drama-free run in the regular season, I think the Nets sit in third right now. Tim Bontemps: This is a recognition of the reality of the situation. I'm sure he didn't anticipate the Nets not getting the kind of offers necessary to get a deal done. [Kevin Durant](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3202/kevin-durant) and the [Brooklyn Nets](/nba/team/_/name/bkn/brooklyn-nets) are running it back. The lingering question was whether Durant was going to hold out during training camp and become a distraction. [Kyrie Irving](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/6442/kyrie-irving), Brooklyn and the Eastern Conference?

If Durant had found himself on the Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, or even the Memphis Grizzlies, it would have changed the power dynamic in the NBA.

The Warriors are in a very healthy spot to find themselves as a championship favorite again as they enter the 2022-23 NBA season. However, even if Mitchell were to join the New York Knicks, it wouldn't put the Golden State Warriors in a compromising position. With the way things currently stand, the Golden State Warriors should be the favorites to win the NBA Championship this season, with the Boston Celtics being the next closest team.

Nearly two months after Durant made a trade request with four years left on his contract, he and the Nets appear to have reconciled their differences ...

[Irving’s inconsistent availability](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/05/sports/kyrie-irving-nets-pacers-vaccine.html) and a combination of injuries derailed the Nets season.

The Nets’ signing of Durant in 2019, along with his friends Irving and the veteran center DeAndre Jordan, injected a rush of optimism into a franchise that had struggled for years to build a fan base to rival that of the crosstown Knicks.

Warren and Royce O’Neale in the off-season and is expected to have the sharpshooter Joe Harris return from injury. If the Nets enter training camp with Durant and Kyrie Irving committed, they will still be a formidable team on paper. Durant, 33, asked to be moved despite having agreed to a [four-year contract extension](https://boardroom.tv/kevin-durant-contract-brooklyn-nets/) with the franchise just last summer. Eventually, Harden, for whom the Nets had traded several of their young players and draft picks, asked out. They had an elite star core with Durant, Irving and Harden, whom they acquired in January 2021. But Durant’s trade value was uncertain, and remains so, because of his age, injury history and the length of his contract.

The Nets say Kevin Durant and the team have 'one collective goal in mind' of bringing an NBA title to Brooklyn.

The Nets believed they had built one in the 2020-21 season after acquiring James Harden to play with Durant and Irving. Harden then asked to be traded and was swapped in the deal for Simmons in February. It would have been hard for Durant to find many better situations, and the Nets likely had little interest in trying to land him one. In addition, the Nets added 3-and-D swingman Royce O’Neale in a trade with the Utah Jazz. But with Durant, the Nets can still be one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. A championship favorite before last season began, the Nets barely made the playoffs and then were bounced by Boston in four games in the first round.

On Tuesday morning, the Nets released a statement on behalf of general manager Sean Marks that Marks, coach Steve Nash, owners Joe Tsai and Clara Wu Tsai ...

With Durant and the Nets' front office hashing it out, the order of operations becomes more clear in the West. This season, the Warriors will face Durant and the Nets twice in the regular season -- first in Brooklyn on Dec. Either way, barring injuries, both games should include a plethora of stars, as well as the handful of players who were rumored to be moved in any possible Durant-Warriors reunion. The Warriors already should have been seen as both the best team in the Western Conference, and the league as a whole. When the Nets faced the Warriors the first time last season with a team that didn't feature Irving or Simmons, but did have James Harden, Golden State ran them out of the gym at Barclays Center for the 15th game of the season. Warren on a one-year prove-it deal, and acquired forward Royce O'Neal from the Utah Jazz.

Los Nets creían que habían construido uno en la temporada 2020-21 después de adquirir a James Harden para jugar con Durant e Irving. Con Durant, Irving y Ben Simmons, quien se espera que regrese después de no jugar para los Nets la temporada pasada luego de su intercambio de Filadelfia, los Nets tendrán un trío superior. Los Nets, favoritos al campeonato antes de que comenzara la temporada pasada, apenas llegaron a los playoffs y luego fueron derrotados por Boston en cuatro juegos en la primera ronda.

As Kevin Durant enters his 16th season, the Nets will now appear to once again be contenders in the East and the entire NBA going into the 2022-23 season. This is a signal of control coming back to the owners as the NBA has been viewed as a players’ league. This effectively ends the nightmare that was the 2022 offseason for the Nets that began with speculation about Kyrie Irving’s future with the team and evolved into a full-blown meltdown when Durant officially requested a trade from the Nets with four years left on his contract.

Kevin Durant y los Nets de Brooklyn no se divorciarán, incluso después que el súper astro pidió ser canjeado.

Harden pidió ser canjeado y fue enviado a los 76ers en la operación por Simmons en febrero. Los Nets creyeron tenerlo en la temporada 2020-21 tras adquirir a James Harden para acompañar a Durant e Irving. Hubiera complejo para Durant encontrar una mejor situación, y los Nets tampoco estaban apurados en ayudarle en ese sentido. El base no tuvo remedio que aceptar ejercer una opción para la próxima campaña, el último año de su pacto. No quedó claro lo que le motivó a pedir ser transferido al término de una turbulenta temporada en Brooklyn. Ahora se aboca a iniciar la extensión de cuatro años que firmó el pasado verano boreal.

Ayton likely broke bad after learning he was shopped at the NBA trade deadline, even though the Suns had the best record in the league by a mile. But the damage has already been done, and if there’s a bright side, those three players are now well-versed in the business calculus of the NBA. It might give the Suns the time they need to strike a deal. The loss of JaVale McGee hurts. Or maybe Durant finally loses the wanderlust and settles into the sunset of his career in New York. The two-time NBA Finals MVP would’ve been a fascinating addition to our sporting landscape.

La misma resultó satisfactoria, ya que se llevó a un acuerdo con “Durantula”. Tras unas largas negociaciones y al no recibir una oferta que se acercara a las pretensiones de la organización, se dio el paso a negociar con la estrella y líder del equipo.

Brooklyn Nets All-Star forward Kevin Durant will remain with the franchise, general manager Sean Marks said on Tuesday.

"We have agreed to move forward with our partnership. Brooklyn finished last season 44-38 and was swept in the first round of the playoffs by the eventual Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics. The 33-year-old joined the Nets before the 2019 season in a sign-and-trade deal with the Golden State Warriors and finished his third season with the organization averaging 29.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 55 games.

From a trade request to an ultimatum now to an apparent reunion, it's difficult to decipher what the Brooklyn superstar is trying to achieve.

[even had a restaurant in town named after him](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/17141205/kevin-durant-okc-based-restaurant-shuts-name-change) as a result of all the acclaim he brought the area. And just in case he and Irving wanted to be able to put their stamp on the Brooklyn organization, well, that seemed fine by the Nets, too. And in a way, who could really blame opposing clubs when none of us are totally sure what’s motivating Durant most at this point? Can he support a coach and general manager if he feels more compelled to back a teammate that isn’t fully committed? (Minnesota’s trade for Rudy Gobert trade suggested as much.) Secondly, it signals that NBA clubs, too, can’t get a clear reading on what matters most to Durant. In a way, joining the Nets could have been seen as the best of both worlds. In building a contender with Brooklyn, Durant wouldn’t be seen as a mere bandwagon-jumper the way he was by many with Golden State. Durant left that all behind in jaw-dropping fashion when he opted to join the Warriors—the club that had just gone 73–9 and come back from a 3–1 conference finals hole to beat KD and the Thunder—in free agency back in 2016. Is it to play with one of his closest friends, and have Irving’s back, regardless of how costly his choices were? Durant then doubled down earlier this month, reportedly issuing an ultimatum to Nets owner Joe Tsai to either move forward with him—and ditch coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks—or that he’d continue to push for a trade out of town. But who knows how this team will jell, or what drama will ultimately come.) Or is it some combination of the three? [What is it, exactly, that Durant wants?](https://www.espn.com/nba/playoffs/2012/story/_/page/Evolution-120613/nba-finals-oklahoma-city-thunder-kevin-durant-motivation) Is it to have things completely on his terms?
