Kevin Durant’s situation with the Brooklyn Nets might be resolved for now. But in all honesty, it feels like Durant is a ticking bomb waiting to explode for the franchise. After signing a new extension with the Nets last season, no one expected him to demand for a trade in the offseason.
KD shocked everyone and requested a trade out of the team. After weeks of drama surrounding the future of Durant with the team, he ultimately decided to put water under the bridge and give it another shot in Brooklyn.
As a result, Durant is once again a part of a superteam featuring himself, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons. One NBA analyst believes that this trio will be a true nightmare for teams next season.
But is that really the case? What is the guarantee that Durant will not ask to be traded once again if things go south? With that thought in mind, NBA analyst Frank Isola claimed that he believes KD will not be a member of the Brooklyn Nets by this time around next year.
Via Ahn Fire Digital:
“I would think at this time next year, Kevin Durant will not be on the Brooklyn Nets.”
The Slim Reaper is one of those players in the NBA whose moves can never be predicted. Not many expected him to join or leave the Golden State Warriors a few years ago, but KD surprised everyone each time.
So if the Nets have a productive season, KD will most likely stay with the team. But the moment things go bad, there is a chance that the Nets will have to deal with a similar situation that they dealt with this offseason. Nets fans will hope that Isola’s prediction turns out to be wrong, but there is no guarantee of it.
