NBA transfer: Brooklyn Nets decided not to sell Kevin Durant before the price?
Not long ago, Kevin Durant asked to leave Brooklyn Nets, despite signing a contract for an extension of less than 2 seasons.
This information makes the transfer market disturbed with nearly half of the tournament that wants Durant's service, who is considered one of the best scores of NBA at the present time.
But Durant wants to leave does not mean that Brooklyn Nets makes it easy. With the initiative in hand, the team leadership was not rushed and was patiently waiting for the appropriate offer.
Up to this point, Kevin Durant's contract is still 4 years with Brooklyn Nets and according to the reputable journalist Brian Windhorst, the Barclays Center team will "do not let Durant leave before the price":
“My source said that Brooklyn was ready for the script to keep both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving for the beginning of the next season. This may be the 'wind blow' to negotiate Nets, it may also be a wise water when they have not heard a offer enough to be attractive enough.
The market and charm of Kevin Durant are still very large, but the teams are not accepting too much sacrifice to exchange for the striker who used to have 12 times in All-Star.
Particularly, Kyrie Irving, everything has completely cooled down by Lakers, the only team interested and active with Nets is not willing to pay high prices, ”ESPN expert shared on television.
Talking more about this, Bleacher Report said the Brooklyn Nets leadership was somewhat disappointed to see that both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have not yet brought the expected value.
As a result, the team is willing to sacrifice and wait until the offer is good enough to exchange.
“As I observed, Nets did not appear in a hurry at all. Everything just stopped at the talks outside with serious offers, no team really pleased Brooklyn, ”said the Jake Fischer pen of Bleacher Report.
“It will not be too surprising if Brooklyn Nets retains both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. How do they manage how to use this All-Star player to be different. "
It is true that Brooklyn Nets is holding the initiative. But if they accept patiently waiting, the transfer value of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving may decrease.
The price of Brooklyn Nets offered to Kevin Durant is currently a All-Star player and many rounds of the first round, and with Kyrie is a round 1 round in Lottery group (the first 14 turns).
At the same time, a new problem will appear is whether Durant with Irving will accept the field and play hard in the next season.
Although this is an extreme perspective, it has happened in NBA in recent years, namely Ben Simmons with Philadelphia 76ers.
How is the question of how the trade requirements of Kevin Durant have a great influence?
ESPN expert said this is rare in the history of the contract as well as the position of Durant in NBA. This is also the reason why this decision has created so much disturbance in the transfer market.
This year is 33 years old but KD is still considered one of the best players in the tournament. Regarding the contract story, Durant has just signed an additional 4 seasons nearly 1 year ago (August 2021).
Therefore, on paper, he will be on the payroll of Brooklyn Nets from now until the end of the 2025-26 season and also receive a total salary of up to $ 194 million.
A star of the top NBA, who has just extended the contract less than 12 months but suddenly asked to leave after the failed season. This is unprecedented in history.
