3 Nets Trade Scenarios With Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving Staying

All summer, the NBA has revolved around Kevin Durant. Now, it may need a new planet to rotate around.

Recently, it was announced that Durant intends to stay with the Brooklyn Nets. It’s entirely possible that this relationship will go south again. Permanent damage may have been done. Still, for the time being, it looks like Durant will enter into 2022-23 as a Net.
