As you can tell by our expressions: It’s all business w/ @Brian Lewis from Vegas on who #Nets brass are talking to about moving #Durant & how SOON it could happen. But can Brooklyn get the return value? And what did Kyrie say to Brian at #nbasummerleague? #SportsXtra pic.twitter.com/woE6HqW9Qy10:30 PM

That’s interesting. Brooklyn Nets promote their 2022-23 season tickets without Kyrie Irving, but with Kevin Durant in the poster. #NetsWorld #NetsLevel pic.twitter.com/Ob0TYXu9qd2:52 PM

Today is a relatively significant checkpoint in the Durant stuff.
Brogdon trade can be made official, clearing the cap space for Indiana to make an offer to Ayton.
If he signs the offer sheet, the Suns cannot sign-and-trade him as part of a Durant deal. – 1:21 PM

2 points mentioned
1. Everyone loves their roster in the offseason. That changes during the regular season after a 4 game losing streak
2. The cost of gutting your roster.

In an all-timer (in my opinion), Nic Claxton was riding horses in the Dominican Republic when his phone went off about Kevin Durant’s trade request. – 8:00 PM
Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42
Lillard is the tied for third as the longest tenured NBA player to remain with the team that he was drafted by, joining Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. His career on court earnings is now $436 million. That ranks only behind Kevin Durant, Curry and Beal. – 5:19 PM

More on this storyline

Deandre Ayton is easily the best free agent still available. His market has been slowed due to his status as a restricted free agent and the Phoenix Suns possible pursuit of Kevin Durant. Now, it seems like Ayton is finally getting some movement on his next contract. While speaking on ESPN’s Get Up, Brian Windhorst said that the Indiana Pacers could sign Ayton as soon as Monday to an offer sheet. Windhorst also said a sign-and-trade is possible to send Ayton to Indiana. -via RealGM / July 11, 2022
Nets Daily: Windhorst on Get Up re Durant: “As I talk to teams, the four years on his contract is not necessarily viewed as an asset. If he was 24 instead of 34, I think we’d be looking at differently.” Says NBA is dealing with “sticker shock” after hearing what Nets want for KD. -via Twitter @NetsDaily / July 11, 2022
Nets Daily: Windhorst on Get Up 1/2: “The market on Kyrie remains frozen. The only team known to have interest is the Los Angeles Lakers. and the Nets have given out the vibe they want to do a Kevin Durant trade first before moving on to Kyrie.” -via Twitter @NetsDaily / July 11, 2022
