The Brooklyn Nets issued a statement on Tuesday that effectively ended the trade rumors for Kevin Durant, but that’s not a massive surprise.

The rumors of the Celtics offering Jaylen Brown never felt very legitimate because there was no reason for Boston to blow up their young core that made the NBA Finals.
