I don't like what Durant did
The future of Kevin Durant is a hot topic in the NBA, so its leader Adam Silver himself commented on it and said that he does not like the move of the former MVP and one of the biggest basketball superstars at all. Durant requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets two weeks ago, even though he signed a new four-year contract worth $194 million with them last season, which hasn't even started running yet.
Still, they don’t know if he wants to trade or if he demands it. It has to be a two-way street. Clubs provide players with enormous security and guarantees and expect them to keep their part of the deal in return. I know there are always conversations behind closed doors between players, their representatives, and clubs.
Durant spent three turbulent years with the Nets, the first of which he missed due to injury, and in the last, he experienced chaos with Kyrie Irving and his non-play due to lack of vaccinations and the departure of James Harden. It is understandable that he wants to leave, but the problem is in the newly signed contract.
Silver announced that this and similar cases will be discussed in the next negotiations for a new collective agreement in order to establish additional rules and impose consequences that would deter players from such a premature request to leave.
Meanwhile, the Nets have realized in these two weeks that the market for their superstar isn't big and likely won't get anywhere near the compensation they're hoping for -- some combination of All-Star caliber players or young up-and-comers and a bunch of future draft picks.
