The Brooklyn Nets are not going to trade former MVP Kevin Durant, and will instead move forward with their partnership, the team said in a statement Tuesday.
‘Steve Nash and I, together with [owners] Joe Tsai and Clara Wu Tsai, met with Kevin Durant and [his agent] Rich Kleiman in Los Angeles yesterday,’ read the statement from Nets general manager Sean Marks. ‘We have agreed to move forward with our partnership. We are focusing on basketball, with one collective goal in mind: build a lasting franchise to bring a championship to Brooklyn.’
Tuesday’s announcement seemingly ends trade speculations surrounding Durant, who has been linked to a number of teams since the Nets were swept by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs back this spring.
