Could the KD chaos on the Brooklyn Nets make a bargain trade for Durant possible?

It’s a development that will keep teams paying plenty of attention to the situation in Brooklyn very closely until some kind of resolution is found.

The Boston Celtics and most if not all of the other teams in the NBA likely have some interest in trading for disgruntled Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant, but may be rethinking their level of interest while watching the mess unfold at Barclays Center regarding the scorched earth tactics KD’s camp has been using to try and force a trade.

But there’s growing speculation around the league that Durant might be angling to make for a cheap exit if he can make the Nets feel enough pressure by demanding things owner Joe Tsai won’t sign off on, like canning his head coach and GM to placate Durant.

In his latest newsletter, Substack’s Marc Stein relates that “there is a growing expectation in league circles” KD will continue his toxic behavior in order to try and force a trade if nothing has happened by the team’s Media Day in late September.
