NBA Fans troll Kevin Durant after he opts for trade away from Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets might lose their biggest star if Kevin Durant leaves this offseason, according to reports.

When healthy, Kevin Durant has been regarded as the NBA’s top player for several years, and he has allegedly requested a trade out of Brooklyn. Only one play could send the Nets’ entire situation spiralling out of control just when it appeared they were getting back on track. If Kevin Durant were to depart Brooklyn this offseason, it would be a devastating blow to the team’s hopes of winning a championship.

While Ben Simmons is anticipated to be cleared to play at the start of next season and Kyrie Irving just exercised his player option, neither of them would be sufficient to elevate the Nets beyond the league average without KD. 

Durant’s deal has four years left, so it’s not as if he can leave the Nets for free. Brooklyn technically has no obligation to trade him. But if NBA fans have learned anything in recent years, it’s that elite players have a lot of power and frequently get what they want. Furthermore, given how valuable superstars like Durant are as a commodity, getting fair compensation in a deal is practically difficult.

The basic line is that it should undoubtedly be a net plus for the Rockets and the future outlook of those first-round selection assets from Brooklyn, even though the specifics still need to be worked out.

Here is a look at how fans and media professionals reacted in real-time to the explosive Kevin Durant news on Thursday

On Twitter one wrote, “Anthony Davis watching Lakers fans tweet “AD for KD” the second Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets.” while another added, “Kevin Durant waiting for Kyrie to opt-in only so he can request a trade later.” A third chimed in, “Kevin Durant requesting a trade 3 hours before free agency begins.”
