Kyrie Irving did not consult Kevin Durant on his decision to request a trade from the Nets, a move that forced Durant to put forth a subsequent trade request and brought an abrupt end to the super team era in Brooklyn.
Durant, now settled into Phoenix after the blockbuster deal that sent him to the Suns at the Feb. 9 NBA trade deadline, said in a recent podcast appearance, he has been able to compartmentalize and separate Irving, the basketball player, from Irving, the businessman, but that he is disappointed about the way things played out in Brooklyn.
He also said he hasn’t spoken to Irving since the deal.
