Tuesday morning, the Nets announced that Durant and the organization have agreed to move forward together. Durant requested a trade away from Brooklyn on June 30, right before the start of NBA free agency, but the Nets didn't have success finding a deal that they found suitable.
The Nets held an incredibly steep asking price for Durant over the summer, and although many teams – including the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Memphis Grizzlies, Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors -- were interested in his services, most were hesitant to offer too big of a package to Brooklyn, as doing so would leave their remaining roster decimated.
