*Kevin* *Durant’s* *demands:*
Sign DeAndre Jordan
Sign Kyrie
Start DeAndre over Allen
Fire Atkinson
Hire Nash
Trade Allen & LeVert for Harden

Nets: Ok, we just want Kyrie to show up.

Kevin Durant: Ok, well fire Nash & Marks or trade me.

[haywood]

This the same KD who called the environment around LBJ toxic. Can’t make this stuff up.

[SSHN]

Yeah it’s Sean Marks’ fault for getting Harden for you. It’s Sean Marks’ fault for getting Deandre and sending Jarret to the bench because he’s your friend. It’s Nash’s fault that you prefer iso ball and Kyrie doesn’t listen because he thinks having a coach is unnecessary. This is ridiculous. Trade him to the Kings

[zzyduzit]

KD’s actions off the court is starting to overshadow his talent….. he’s showing he’s spineless with every team he’s on. I hope they keep him and makes him miserable. He signed for 4 years. He needs to honor his contract

[richardthekingransom]

Talking to Keyshawn is like talking to a brick wall, he doesn’t understand what a compromise is lol

[Nightwingk]

I've been a lifelong KD fan, but this is absolutely unacceptable for a player to call the shots on who should be fired from the management. Bron and KD are greats of the game no doubt, but there's a limit to entitlement. KD needs to learn from Steph on how to be a leader of a team.

[BlackSaiyan]

Honestly, is Durant even worth it at this point? Yes he is a top 5 player but he’s 34 and a headache. Trade him for a talent in Ben Simmons’ age range and take the L.

[haywood]

1:12. Media delusional. Dude is not and has never been the best. He just got locked up and swept and has done nothing without the avengers to back him.

[gediminaskucinskas]

Sean Marks only mistakes that he had so far was giving into KD and Kyrie wishes. After all it was KD who wanted to sign Dendre and then have him start over Allen and it was him who wanted Atkinson out.

[jamespuso]

Not gonna lie, it's cold that he's throwing Nash under the bus after bringing him in but I'm with JWill, he hasn't gotten them where they should be and leadership isn't strong enough so maybe he has to go. But Sean Marks has done great with the Nets every step of the way, his only mistakes have been giving into KD and Kyrie.

[boredom]

This is a reach KD is out of pocket for this

[joemagwood]

KD told Sean Marks to fire Kenny Atkinson & hire Steve Nash now he wants the owner to fire Sean Marks & Steve Nash 😂😂😂

[MistaAmazin]

That's the smartest thing Jay Williams has said in yrs! NO one truly wins one way in a real professional negotiation people always meet in the middle, speaking from actual experience.

[minglemanx]

There is now no turning back. Publicly disrespecting the GM is one thing. Telling ownership to get rid of the coach is another thing entirely. If you're not bending to Durant's demands, then you have to move him. You don't want your basketball superstar to be disgruntled and unmotivated. Durant has to go.

[iReplyDummies]

They should implement a "trade demand tax" the player would be taxed 10% of their salary for each year left on their deal. So in this case KD would be shipped out and be taxed on 40% of his deal.

So that the rich aren't getting richer, the team that's receiving KD would still take his full salary as a hit to their cap.

All money taxed goes to charity or stays with the team that's meeting the players demand.

[rayrice]

What’s crazy to me is that if this was Lebron, everyone would be talking so bad about him rn about how he’s single handily destroying a franchise, however since it’s KD it’s like every possible excuse ppl are using to excuse him from accountability…..smh this his his meds, he wanted those players, plus he left a perfect situation because he’s too moody

[stevee.]

None of us can go to our job and say, fire my supervisor or I walk. Lmao

[xelaander]

Isn't this the same Kevin that said on his podcast "we don't need a coach" funny how now he thinks the coaching staff matter

[amrithbharadwaj]

Imagine being Joe Tsai being told what to do and being given ultimatums by a guy that works for you. I'd make KD play for the Nets and coached by Nash just to make a point.
I know that probably wouldn't serve him well in the long-term and that's why he's a billionaire and I'm not but how do you not put a guy like that in his place?

[xxsupermanxx]

We will remember this Durant. It’s part of your legacy now
