Nets head coach Steve Nash said “there is no baggage or remnants” from a chaotic offseason that included star forward Kevin Durant calling for his job.
Months after Durant issued an ultimatum to Nets owner Joe Tsai — demanding Tsai fire both Nash and general manager Sean Marks or trade him to another team — Nash downplayed the severity of the issue when asked by his hometown Canadian media.
“I think from the outside, it can be such a hot issue, and one can dramatize it. From the inside, this stuff happens all the time throughout the league,” he said ahead of tipoff against the Raptors on Friday.
