That's a good point. This is why Durant has requested a trade and will not be playing on the Nets next year. I also think this will be a good trade for the Nets because they want a guy that will actually be on the floor after the Kyrie experience last year. Westbrook will likely play all 82 games for the Nets and I think their management will appreciate that and the picks much more than another year of Kyrie drama. Plus, it'll clear cap space in the future since Russ only has 1 year left on his contract.

Durant requested for trade, not for that reason. He clearly wants a big help from coming from the All-Stars level and Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat can give it to him although that would pay a price for these teams to get Durant. I hope Durant won't be traded so that he will feel pressure to win and realize that his behavior is not right after the Nets give him the best contract.

In the first place, why did Durant agrees with the extension last year and he signed it if, in the end, he won't be interested in playing for the team.

Nets make it clear, if they didn't get a good package for Durant, he will stay on the team.

Indeed! Every avid fan of the NBA had surely know what Durant wants and that is too seek the ring, clearly he didn't requested a trade to the #1 seed in both conference namely Heats and Suns if he just wanted a team where he can do some more lifting. Durant wanted a team that will increase his chance to get the championship next season but the Nets can't just let him have his way because they also wanted an all-star caliber in-exchange.

I can see that Durant will still be wearing the same jersey this coming season, most teams are already full packed and if not, they cannot give what the Nets wanted in return.
