Now its proven that he cannot lift up his team when he's on Brooklyn and this one indicate that they don't need Durant to win another championship.
Is it really on just Durant's hand to carry and lift the Brooklyn Nets? He is averaging 29PPG last season and his other stats are good as well.
His teammates should also do their work. The overall roster of the Nets in the recent season is even worst compared to his OKC days.
Nets can't be carried by a single player, especially Durant. They need teamwork.
But regardless, since Kevin Durant already express his interest to be traded, there's no way the Nets should keep him on the roster next season. The motivation and determination are already not there to play for the team in long term. Unfortunate to see that kind of relationship. When Durant signed a 4-year extension last year, the whole Brooklyn Nets is so happy that there will be more seasons that Durant will stay on them and expected to build a legacy on that team. It was all mentioned in the media interview and now looked at what happened.
Having a franchise star like KD is one of the best thing to happen in each team inside the league, not just for the title but more on
the fan based and the potential profits each season NBA have; I don't see KD's interest in continuing his long-term relationship with the
Nets management, with that intention being traded, is enough sign that he's no longer willing to give his best. They need to let him go
and find the best prospect, not a good separation, but that's how business works.
