According to the source who spoke to The Associated Press under the condition of anonymity because neither the venerable All-Star nor the Nets organization publicly confirmed the conversation’s specifics, Durant also expressed his concerns to Tsai regarding the team’s direction under head coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks.
Details of the most recent Durant-Tsai encounter were first published by The Athletic. Tsai remarked on Monday night, “Our front office and coaching staff have my backing. We’ll make choices that are best for the Brooklyn Nets.”
This is the latest development in a tale that started on June 30 when Durant informed the Nets that he was interested in being traded just as the start of this summer’s free agency era. Durant’s deal with the Nets has four years and $198 million left on it, thus he is not a free agent. He played with Brooklyn for the previous three seasons.
