According to Shams Charania, that is not actually the case. While making an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Charania shared that Durant and Irving were actually in constant contact with each other. “The one guy with the Nets that Kevin Durant had remained in communication with, from everything I’ve been told, was Kyrie Irving. That was the one guy that he was communicating with on a regular basis. …That relationship goes beyond just basketball. I think it’s more a life friendship that those do have.”

More on this storyline
“The Nets set those high price tag maybe because they didn’t really want to trade Kevin Durant. I have heard around the league team executives say the Nets’ asking price may have been overly high because they really didn’t want to move him, but I do believe a team like Boston, Toronto — these teams had windows,” Charania explained in an appearance on the STUpodity podcast. -via Clutch Points / August 27, 2022
“When I first heard about the Kevin Durant stuff, I was kind of blown away by it, just because we’ve been so blessed here to have guys who want to come,” Monty Williams said, via SiriusXM NBA Radio. “At the same time, ‘at the expense of what,’ was my thinking. “I like our team, I love our guys, but I wasn’t going to have conversations that didn’t need to be had. I think our guys are mature enough to understand that part of our business.” -via Clutch Points / August 26, 2022
