Was Kevin Durant ever even close to being traded?

28.08.2022 - 20:59 nbcsports.com

Kevin Durant blew up the NBA’s summer with his June 30 trade demand. It became the story of the summer, dominating headlines and even holding up some trades.

But was Durant ever really close to being traded? Not if you listen to the fallout after Durant agreed to return to the Nets this season.

When Durant made his first trade demand, two places were attached as his preferred destinations: Miami and Phoenix. When Shams Charania of The Athletic went on the Miami-based Le Batard & friends “STUpodity” podcast, he said the Heat were never close to a deal (hat tip Hoopshype).

The last time, Stugotz, the Heat called the Nets [about Kevin Durant] was right around Summer League or even maybe even before that.
