The Brooklyn Nets have been through something of a soap opera in recent times, with the team going through various off-season issues. It started with Kyrie Irving not being able to agree on a contract extension, something he revealed to be thanks to his unvaccinated status. But the real bombshell came after Kyrie opted into the final year of his contract, with Kevin Durant requesting to be traded.
KD’s trade request set a lot of things in motion, with teams like the Celtics making offers for Durant. But the price tag was too high, something that KD has since revealed he understands. And the saga got worse before it got better, with Durant reportedly asking for Sean Marks and Steve Nash to be fired. However, in the end, everything got worked out, and the Nets decided to give it another go with their current core.
A lot of people have wondered about how things will be for the Nets moving forward, considering that the team will have to work behind the scenes with one another following this drama. But new acquisition Markieff Morris was quick to put all of that speculation to rest, with some hilarious worldly wisdom.
Markieff Morris Hilariously Compared The Situation With Kevin Durant And The Brooklyn Nets To Getting Back Together With A Girlfriend Or Wife
Any relationship requires work, be it in the workplace or in someone’s personal life. And Markieff Morris, who joined the Nets on a one-year deal before the new season, explained why the situation in Brooklyn can work even with all the drama.
"I broke up with my wife a couple times, we still married. S–t works."

“Like I said before, Brooklyn was a top team the whole summer. They was my number one phone call right up until what happened with Kevin but that’s the NBA, man. You break up with a girlfriend, you get back with her. Same sh*t. Same sh*t. You have your differences till you figure it out. I mean, I broke up with my wife a couple of times, we still married. Sh*t works. Sometimes you need space to figure some things out but this sh*t works. It is what it is.”
This is a hilarious way of looking at it from Morris, and it seems to be that the entire organization is looking forward to putting the saga behind them. With Ben Simmons returning and some tough role players including Morris around Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, this has the chance of working to an NBA championship.
