There’s good reason for pessimism, Durant’s ultimatum to Nets owner Joe Tsai did not light a fire under trade talks. If anything, it made it far less likely a deal gets done in the short term. — why would Boston improve its offer now? It robbed the Nets of leverage. For example, Brooklyn was trying to get Boston to put Smart in the trade, but why would they even consider it now?
Despite Durant’s best efforts, things likely stay quiet on the trade front until it gets closer to training camp in September. The big question then becomes, are Tsai and GM Sean Marks willing to be uncomfortable — will they wait out a Durant offer they think is fair like Daryl Morey did with Ben Simmons last season, or will they cave and trade KD just to get something and move on? We will find out in a month or so.
