If Kevin Durant wants to leave the team then Nets had better let him go by a nice trade. Being insistent on keeping him here would cause him to be more unhappy and this would be of no use for Nets in the coming season. Irving must be in the same situation now too but we are hearing about Durant the most these days. He has been likely to sign for Suns or Heat but I don't know if they are still interested in a trade for him. Both of those teams would be nice for him imo.
That is what the Brooklyn Nets have been trying to do for the past month or so. But the Brooklyn Nets is keen to wipe the other team who wants Durant with talents that is why no one is biting. They are willing to let him go but won't allow the other team to be competitive when they got Durant. I think it is understandable they want that because of the chaos Durant has brought into their organization.
I just don't think KD and Kyrie are compatible with each other.
They are good together in court. It is only their personal drama that keeps on getting the way of their performance in the court. If kyrie just have played last year, instead of avoiding the vaccine, Harden should have not left. They could have at least got on the conference finals. But they prioritize their drama over their profession. And now, they have caused too much chaos in their organization.
I don't know if KD is just trying to avoid bashing Kyrie and maybe even Simmons too because he might possibly play with them this season so Nash is the casualty that can be replaced easily rather than dealing with the superstar players.
We know KD and Irving are friends. He still supports Irving even after what happened to their team last season. Maybe, you are right. But the organization still supports Nash and Marks. They rather let go of Durant than remove the leader of their organization.
