Kevin Durant trade rumors explained: Where could he go and why is it taking so long?

Right before free agency began, we got the electrifying news from our own Shams Charania that Kevin Durant was requesting a trade away from the Brooklyn Nets. With the Nets not coming to terms on a deal with Irving, that’s when Durant told Brooklyn he would like a trade. Nets also get Philadelphia’s first-round pick from the Ben Simmons trade, but it’s headed to Utah in the Royce O’Neale trade. Durant can say he’d like to go to Phoenix or Miami, but Sean Marks and the Nets are not beholden to that trade destination request. Just remember the Nets are relinquishing Durant in this scenario, so it’ll take a lot more than that to make them feel like it’s acceptable, especially with a division foe as the trade partner.
