After an eventful season for the Brooklyn Nets’ Big 3 that included a blockbuster trade and an early playoff exit, 12-time All-Star and franchise centerpiece Kevin Durant has requested a trade away from the organization.
The news comes just days after Kyrie Irving opted in to the final year of his contract with Brooklyn. It was reported on Wednesday that teams were expected to touch base with the Nets to see if the organization planned to move forward with keeping Durant and Irving together.
Durant’s business manager, Rich Kleiman, confirmed to ESPN that the organization is working to find a suitable trade for Durant.
