NEW YORK — As the offseason days accumulate with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving still on the same roster, so do the chances of the Nets running it back next season.
It may seem improbable given Durant’s trade request, which hasn’t been explained by the future Hall of Famer. But the Nets still have Durant under contract until 2026, providing them with the leverage to threaten the idea of keeping him into the season.
Kenny Anderson, who wore No. 7 as a Nets All-Star long before Durant, believes it’s the smartest approach for his former team.
