Franchise cornerstone Kevin Durant has requested a trade with four years worth $198 million remaining on his contract, and superstar guard Kyrie Irving has opted into the final year of his contract worth $37 million. But the Nets have not been willing to sign him to a long-term, fully-guaranteed deal because of the decisions Irving made that rendered him ineligible (or unavailable) to play much of last season. Durant’s trade request came prior to Sean Marks’ extension, per the source. Marks’ front office staff also negotiated new deals.
