The drama overwhelmed this group and I think Kevin just wants a fresh start elsewhere - NBA insider hints that the drama surrounding the Nets was one of the triggering points behind Kevin Durant s trade request cites an away game in Chicago
Kevin Durant's trade request has sent the entire league in a state of frenzy Kevin Durant has been a mainstay in the headlines ever since he requested a trade away from the Brooklyn Nets. Things looked alright when his friend decided to opt into his contract. However, since Durant's direct trade request to the owners, the Nets are now in a bit of a predicament. According to insider Nick Friedell, the 33-year-old is looking for a way out as he is overwhelmed by all the drama surrounding the Nets. Since being traded to them in 2019, there were heavy expectations from Durant. Mainly because general manager Sean Marks had assembled a Big 3 consisting of Irving, and Durant to help the Nets be title contenders. However, this experiment seemed to go wrong right from the very start. Speaking about how things went downhill for the Nets, Freidell said on ESPN's "Get Up" that: "The drama overwhelmed this group, and I think Kevin just wants a fresh start elsewhere. Tim mentioned some of the key dates in this timeline. I'll take you back to January 12 in Chicago. We're at the United Center. The Nets have just dominated the Bulls, who at the time were leading the East, with James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant all on the floor. "Everybody is beaming walking out of the lockeroom. Harden sits on the press conference table and goes, 'I'm gonna give Kyrie the shot myself, because they knew if he took it, everything sets up for them to make a run for the Nets who would play really well.'" , who was in the league for 22 years, popped a really interesting question. He asked the panel, which included Brian Windhorst, Tim Bontemps and Nick Friedell, what led to Durant not staying in the franchise and asking Irving to be traded. "I can't blame Kyrie.
