But regardless, teams are reportedly preparing for the Nets star to potentially be available in the coming days. It’s according to ESPN insider Zach Lowe in a post-NBA episode of his Lowe Post podcast: “I can tell you this. That’s what teams do. The teams are already operating under, not the assumption, but “we have to prepare for the possibility that Kevin Durant will be available via trade in six days or seven days.” … The whole league is now.

More on this scenario
Rumor has it that if Irving ends up leaving the Nets, Durant could ask out as well. For Windhorst, trying to trade for KD after Irving’s situation exploded would be something the Heat could do. “The Godfather’s decision is not to trade for Kyrie Irving. The Godfather’s decision is to let Kyrie Irving’s situation blow up and then wait for Kevin Durant to say he wants out of there. This is the Miami Heat movement,” Windhorst said on ESPN’s Get Up.. -Going through Clutch points / June 25, 2022
Durant admitted he didn’t think the Warriors were considered a dynasty until they won this final championship. But while he was proud of the Warriors, he didn’t seem to like how people thought he would see Golden State returning to the top of the mountain. “I to have some pride — like, fuck, I was part of something special, even though it was just two out of four championships,” Durant said. “We have had some amazing times. To see them finish and carry on, yeah, you got a sense of pride to be part of it. “But then when you listen to the show and it’s like, ‘Well, KD should feel like that,’ and it’s like, ‘Oh, here we go.’ They can’t let me just enjoy what they’re doing instead of trying to play me against them, because I’m always going to take my side. East Bay Time / June 25, 2022
In a response to a question posed by Eddie Gonzalez of the Etcs podcast, Kevin Durant said he wasn’t involved in teammate and friend Kyrie Irving’s free agency, adding, “I just let things play out and I see what’s going on,” adding “No matter what, the friendship will always be there. … ‘There’s no involvement at all. I can’t be involved in this,’ he said. he declares. “It’s this man’s livelihood. It’s much bigger than me. Being a free agent is one of the most important moments of your career. It cannot be influenced by anyone else. I just made myself and wait for the time. There is nothing that can happen right now. I don’t think he can even make a decision to step down until the 29th, I think. I just let things flow and see what happens, but I keep in regular contact with Kai and see what happens. It’s something that’s so out of my control that I don’t want to be a part of it. We’ll see what happens though. -Going through NetsDaily / June 24, 2022
