Since Kevin Durant reportedly requested a trade from the Nets less than two weeks ago, figures from around the NBA have weighed in on whether or not the star forward was justified in doing so.
While some former players have been eager to question his decision to ask out with four years remaining on his contract, Durant seems to have found a supporter in one of the game’s greats: Scottie Pippen.
During an appearance on SiriusXM NBA Radio, the former Bulls star gave his thoughts on Durant’s reported trade request, explaining that he enjoyed seeing a player have the freedom to control his own destiny in the NBA.
