Brooklyn, NY – In a shocking move, Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant has requested a trade from the team, citing “unhappiness” with the team’s direction.

According to sources close to the situation, Durant met with Nets owner Joe Tsai and general manager Sean Marks on Wednesday to express his desire to be traded.

“Kevin has been unhappy with the team’s progress and feels that it’s time for a change,” said a source. “He’s given everything to the Nets, and he feels that it’s time for him to move on.”

Durant, who signed a four-year, $198 million contract extension with the Nets in 2021, has been the face of the franchise since his arrival in 2019. However, despite his impressive individual performances, the team has failed to make a deep playoff run.

The news of Durant’s trade request sent shockwaves throughout the NBA, with many teams already beginning to make calls to the Nets to inquire about his availability.

“We’re aware of Kevin’s request, and we’re exploring our options,” said Marks. “We appreciate everything Kevin has done for the Nets, and we’ll do what’s best for the team.”

Durant’s departure would be a significant blow to the Nets, who have built their team around him and fellow superstar Kyrie Irving.

“Kevin is a brother to me, and I’m sad to see him go,” Irving said. “But I understand his decision, and I’ll support him no matter what.”

The Nets are expected to receive a significant haul in return for Durant, with several teams already offering multiple first-round picks and young players.

As for Durant’s next destination, several teams are rumored to be in the running, including the Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors, and the Miami Heat.

One thing is certain: Kevin Durant’s trade request has sent the NBA into chaos, and the next few days will be filled with speculation and rumors.
