Kevin Durant will stay with the Brooklyn Nets after the organisation held an all-hands meeting to discuss the superstar's situation, with all involved deciding to stay together for the upcoming year.
Durant requested a trade in late June, telling the Nets he wanted to leave after growing unhappy at the franchise he signed for in 2019. Unfortunately for the 33-year-old himself, however, he was locked into a four-year deal and had completed just one of them, so the team had no obligation to deal him.
The franchise was believed to have asked for an unprecedented return of draft picks and players in order to even entertain the possibility of trading him, and no team came close to their expectations.
