Kevin Durant hasn’t talked to any individual from the Nets in weeks and is losing confidence in the team’s capability to deal with the agreement standoff with Kyrie Irving, Logan Murdock of The Ringer reported on a the latest podcast (hat suggestion to NetsDaily).

There has been growing speculation about the previous 7 days that Durant may possibly drive his way out if Brooklyn can’t re-indicator Irving. Murdock mentioned that choice is not inevitable, but warned that issues about the prospective “destruction” of the recent roster are genuine.

“I never know if he’s at the phase of leaving but there’s a major uneasiness from not only from the Kyrie facet, but the KD facet as very well,” Murdock explained.

James Harden was added in a January 2021 offer to kind a Major 3, but matters haven’t long gone as planned. The Nets have captured just 1 playoff sequence in that span, Harden is now absent and the other two stars appear to be in hazard of leaving as very well.

“His largest beef is that he feels that the front workplace didn’t increase to have an understanding of Kyrie, whatsoever that means,” Murdock said. “I would force again on that when a man leaves for two months at a time … Kyrie earns the lion’s share of the blame. But I consider KD thinks that ‘hey, you men did not understand this dude. You didn’t check out to determine out wherever he was coming from.’”

Durant is also unsatisfied about the Nets’ predicted parting with Adam Harrington as an assistant coach and director of advancement. Harrington was Durant’s capturing mentor with the Thunder and is a longtime pal.
