Now the Nets will move on the market in search of the best possible solution to please their star while making as much profit as possible from his farewell.

All elements of the roster at this point, precise Woj, are under discussion and may leave with a view to deep rebuilding.

Among Durant’s possible destinations the biggest suspects at the moment are. Phoenix Suns e Miami Heat. The negotiation, however, promises to be difficult because KD still has four years left on his contract and the quid pro quo demanded by the Nets is likely to be unprecedented in NBA history.
Phoenix and Miami are among two of the teams that Kevin Durant has on his wish list, sources tell ESPN, but the Nets plan to move Durant where they can get the best possible deal. With four years on his contract, there’s no shortage of teams willing to unload assets for Durant.
