Kevin Durant still “wants the best for” the Nets.
In an interview with The Athletic, Durant — who forced a trade from Brooklyn to the Phoenix Suns at the trade deadline following Kyrie Irving’s unexpected trade from the Nets to the Dallas Mavericks — suggested there is no bad blood between himself and the Nets front office, even though his tumultuous time in Brooklyn ended without a deep playoff run.
“I hated it had to go down like that. I wasn’t trying to prove the Nets is a s----- organization. I was trying to prove that the Nets are a great organization, that they care about their players, want the best for their players,” the Suns star said as he returned to the court after an ankle injury on Wednesday. “Certain s--- just didn’t work out. I understand that. I’m not here trying to prove that the Nets was wrong, I think they did amazing by me the whole time I was there, not just with the trade.
