Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant is ready to move on from the offseason drama that saw him request a trade and reportedly demand that head coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks be fired.

"I was upset," Durant added. "And as a family, they understood that I was upset, some of the stuff they agreed with. So we talked about it, and it was over a couple of months, a couple of weeks, towards the end of that where we talked about it. We came out, and we voiced all our concerns about how we all can be better. And it just worked out from there, and I'm glad I'm here now."
