Kevin Durant says trade requests are “great for the league” despite criticism: “Teams have been trading players and making acquisitions for a long time. Now a player can dictate where he wants to go, leave in free agency or demand a trade, it’s just part of the game now.”

Then what tf is the point of even signing contracts?
I mean, I’m not against a player requesting a trade. It’s in their right, they’re not slaves. That being said… Teams don’t have to trade them where they want to go too, it works both ways.
I think what would make this more fair is that if a player request trade, he loses 25% of his salary to the team that traded him away
Pulling your pants down on the court would also get you more attention for the league KD, doesn’t mean you should do it.
Fuck that
Nets fans are still waiting for a “thank you”.
He’s a great player with a bitch ass attitude
I agree. I’m still pretty bitter about durant, but I don’t see a problem with requesting trades. Nobody should have to be completely miserable with their career if they don’t need to be. I think it’s also part of what makes the league suspenseful. League runs on hope and you never know when one of these guys are going to end up on your team.
I am for employee empowerment and I’m sure most people would want that in their workplace as well
Great for everyone except loyal Nets fans.
TBF then max contract length should be 2 years. 3rd year means no trade demands. No 4th year guarantees for any player at the supermax level.
Or if you request mid season trade then your next multi year contract must be team options for year 2 and 3. Call it the Kai Family Entertainment Rule.
Fuck you
Best bus rider in the league
Damn fellas y’all really in your feelings about this dude
Tell me you’re an idiot without telling me you’re an idiot
It sucks for the fans that root for the team you are on Kevin
If you don’t guarantee your time why should anyone guarantee you money?
Dude just needs to shut up. He has always been his own worst enemy in the media.
🐍
KD and LeBron are like the Silver Surfer and Galactus of the NBA. Going around consuming all the money then moving on.
KD never had a haircut with the nets and now he does.
he’s right. the inverse has always happened. the very easy solution to this is for the owners and FOs to foster environments where players want to stay
Fuck him
Of course he would say this he’s the biggest snake of them all lol
Player empowerment only empowers the top 5% of NBA players. Everyone else has to deal with what KD talked about
i honestly don’t see anything wrong with what he said.
Y’all got any of them trade requests?!?
For years professional players were treated as chattel so good that at least some players control where they play.
Imagine you work for a company in Phoenix and work every day and bust your ass then BAM, you are told to pack your bags because you are being sent to NY?
New CBA gonna say otherwise
“You’re not wrong, Kevin. You’re just an asshole.”
Cool. You gonna use all that contract money to pay me back for those Nets KD jerseys I have? No? Then shut the fuck up, “Seven,” you snake.
Guaranteed contracts don’t make sense. Teams show negotiate a trade request clause.
🤡
Now everybody wanna play for the heat and the Lakers? Let’s go back to being competitive and going at these peoples! – also Durant
Get in Kev
All for you making trade requests but you can’t also get butthurt if people get upset about it.
Perhaps having big long term contracts are part of the problem; if you commit to 4 years, you get compensated for that commitment. If you break that commitment that you make, then that’s where the issues begin. More back loaded contracts for stars that see our their contracts could be used. 50% in first year, 75% in the second year, 125% in the 3rd year and 150% in the 4th year.
Can we stop posting about KD and Kyrie?
Who tf cares, they aren’t on the team.
