Before the 2022\u201323 season, Kevin Durant desired to join the Phoenix Suns<\/a>, but the Nets “refused to get rid” of him, therefore he remained with the team until the trade deadline last season.<\/p>\n

Kevin Durant Requested Nets For A Trade: “Refused to Get Rid of Me”<\/h2>\n

“[The Nets] refused to get rid of me\u2026 I tried, but time ran out,” Durant told reporters Saturday. “I wasn’t going to miss any games because of this whole thing\u2026 It worked out in perfect timing.”<\/p>\n

In June 2022, Durant first asked to be traded by the Nets, preferring to play for the Suns or Miami Heat. But the Nets were “not tied to honouring any of Durant’s preferred destinations and plan to make a deal that allows them the greatest flexibility,” according to a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski at the time.<\/p>\n
