Not gonna happen lol. Durant has little leverage in where he wants to go because he is signed for 4 more years. The nets are going to take the best offer and hell its definitely not middleton and holiday.
Well Durant can just...not play.
The Suns are the frontrunners for Durant for this reason. Would you want to trade for a sulking Durant? Would you want to deal with the same crap this time next year?
As one of the Locked On NBA people noted, and I think one of the Lowe Post guests also noted, if Durant gets his way, this would really make the next CBA negotiations interesting. NBA team owners make heaps of profits, but tough pill to swallow if 5 year contracts mean absolutely nothing.
He's also 33 and will be 34 before the season starts. His first season is his primary leverage. I'm sure he'll still be quite a player for a few years, but what he is now, a guy who can swing a championship for a number of teams, that's on the clock.
It also reinforces the idea that he's a guy who disrupts your franchise. He can't afford to give next year away to get a better deal, because he won't.
