    A team could kill that by offering Ayton an offer sheet that he signs. There were rumors that Indiana was going to do that this weekend, but we'll see.

    Brooklyn Fans: at least the Knicks are a little better this year

    Last year's season tickets were money well spent. Fight the power Kyrie!

    Nets Prefer To Keep Kevin Durant Due To Below Expectation Trade Offers

    The Brooklyn Nets were expecting a historical return on the trade market for Kevin Durant, but those offers have so far come short of what they would be willing to accept. Due to this stalemate, the Nets have put out their position all week that they're prepared to keep Durant and that might even be their preferred outcome.

    "As for Kevin Durant, here's what there is: nothing," said Brian Windhorst of the state of Durant trade talks. "There is no movement here. The executives are leaving Summer League. The executives are going on vacation.

    "At this point, the Nets' preferred situation is for Kevin Durant to stay with them. There is no trade they they've got that they like.

    "A huge question and what the league is in some ways waiting for is what does Durant feel? He's the one who asked for the trade. Have his feelings changed with some of the avenues for trades dimming?"

    Durant requested a trade from the Nets at the start of free agency less than a year after signings an extension with the franchise. The trade request came shortly after the Nets were unable to agree to terms on a long-term contract with Kyrie Irving.

    Irving's camp has said he has not requested a trade from the Nets and wants to continue with the franchise even if Durant is traded.

    Zach Lowe also reported this week that he has not heard of any "realistic momentum for a Kevin Durant trade."

    Whatever "Adam", you play a big part in all of this happening.

    You said the same thing when Harden asked to get away from Kyrie.

    Or just be so obnoxious and toxic that eventually they have to trade you for pennies on the dollar.

    Let’s go with my option.

    They can kick the can down the road, but we all know where this story is headed.

    I would bet he starts the year in Brooklyn, him and Kyrie both.

    Kevin Durant Trade Request May Have Been About Getting Kyrie Irving Traded

    While speaking on The Lowe Post, ESPN's Dave McMenamin said that Kevin Durant's trade request might not have really been about leaving Brooklyn. Instead, Durant might have been trying to motivate the Nets to move his star teammate instead.

    "There is a school of thought speaking to people around the league that they think the Kevin Durant trade request wasn’t actually about him getting out of Brooklyn," McMenamin said. "It was about getting Kyrie Irving out of Brooklyn."

    The sense is that Durant has tired of Irving's unreliability and would welcome Irving being traded. To this point, Durant has only asked the Nets for a trade with few details as to why he wants to be traded. Durant is starting Year 1 of a four-year, $197.6 million extension this upcoming season.

    KD asked for a trade, and the Nets have spent time fielding offers and still continue to do so, but it’s all a charade by KD so that the Nets can get rid of a guy in Kyrie they don’t even want? Lol, they’ll say anything at this point. Man, I hate this KD saga

    Good thing that the Rockets don't have any meat in the game. I remember when we use to believe there was a sliver of hope for us to acquire some superstar and we'd spent countless weeks discussing only to be let down at the end (even though we knew this would be the end result).
