On the last day of June, Kevin Durant asked to leave the Brooklyn Nets. Durant is one of the best players in the league, he has four years left on his contract with the Nets, and it is clear that a team who wants to bring him will have to give up a lot.

ESPN reports that negotiations have begun between Brooklyn and the current NBA runners-up Boston Celtics. It is reported that Brooklyn is closer to a deal with Boston than with any other club and that Jaylen Brown could end up in Brooklyn. Miami, Phoenix, and Toronto are also in the fight for Durant.

Durant spent three turbulent years with the Nets, the first of which he missed due to injury, and in the last, he experienced chaos with Kyrie Irving and his non-play due to lack of vaccinations and the departure of James Harden.

Durant is a two-time NBA champion, he won both titles with the Golden State Warriors (2017 and 2018), the club that won last season against Boston in the finals.
