Kevin Durant on James Harden rumors, and 5 other takeaways from Nets media day

New York Times  

For the first time since January, Kevin Durant spoke with reporters on Tuesday, which marked the start of Nets training camp. “I don’t know where that came from,” Durant said of the Harden rumors. “We both respect each other’s games and we know each other’s game inside and out,” Durant said of Irving. But those two are going to lead each side of the ball.” Nash said the Nets offense will have elements of the Seven Seconds or Less offense he executed under D’Antoni in Phoenix, but was quick to point out that a lot of the qualities of that offense have become common around the NBA. I look forward to getting with the coaches and with our front office and really debating as we go through training camp and see what we need to make changes, whether it’s on the periphery of the roster or we make some bigger moves.” More coverage • Taking an early look at the Nets’ 2020-21 depth chart and rotation • How Kevin Durant looks, Caris LeVert’s usage and 5 other Nets storylines to watch • What other moves may be coming?
