Following those reports, nothing has progressed. "Here's another thing: They're going to have to trade him, but they're not going to get back what they want." Perkins, KD's former teammate, said. "The New Orleans Pelicans right now are hesitant to throw in Brandon Ingram for Kevin Durant. So, is KD falling under that category of being popular or powerful?

There is no salvaging the relationship between Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant The Nets haven't done anything major to get rid of Kevin Durant. The team is in a difficult position because some teams aren't offering their top stars. If this was 2016, maybe the Nets would get a huge offer for Durant. Of course, the 10-time All-NBA player is still one of the league's top talents. However, the many dramas he's caused in the last five years have turned him into more of a villain. The Nets should have seen it coming when they traded for him in 2019. Now, they're having the full KD experience. In the three years that Durant has been in Brooklyn, the furthest that he's taken the team is in the second round. In the last playoffs, they were embarassingly swept by the Boston Celtics. The situation the Nets are in is burdensome. Either they trade KD now for the underwhelming offers that they've received or they hold onto Durant until a miracle happens. Perkins is right about the first option: The Nets won't get a quality package in return. The second option is risky, but it favors Durant a little bit.
