In exchange for his figure, “the Nets will seek a historic return in players and Draft choices,” added Wojnarowski, who pointed to the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat among the teams that the forward has on his list of preferences. However, the really important thing comes in terms of its price.
Durant, 33, will prematurely cut his commitment to the Nets signed in 2021 for four seasons and $198 million. The forward landed in the Nets in 2019, after leaving the Golden State, to form a new super team with star and controversial point guard Kyrie Irving.
A few hours after the news was known, the NBA is desperate
Since then, the Nets have only made it past the first round of the playoffs once. Last season they fell to the Boston Celtics culminating a chaotic year in which Harden was traded to the Sixers and Kyrie Irving missed much of it due to his refusal to coronavirus.
Irving, to whom the Nets are reluctant to offer a maximum long-term contract, exercised his option to renew for an additional season for $36.9 million. Durant’s trade request rocked the league just three hours before free agency officially opens.
