Kevin Durant is hoping that his former team reads the room this week.
Brooklyn Nets fans got into a debate over X on Sunday about whether Durant should get a tribute video from the team. The Phoenix Suns star Durant will be making his return to Brooklyn on Wednesday for a game against the Nets.
Durant himself decided to chime in on the debate and left no doubt about where he stands.
The former MVP signed with Brooklyn in free agency in 2019 and ushered in a star-studded era, bringing Kyrie Irving and later James Harden along with him.
But the anticipated super team collapsed miserably as the Nets won a grand total of one playoff series before all three players left.
On Durant’s end, he demanded a trade from Brooklyn multiple times, tried to get head coach Steve Nash and GM Sean Marks fired (succeeeding on the former), and even seemingly dissed his own Nets teammates shortly before a trade to Phoenix was granted.
A Brooklyn tribute video for Durant would likely get booed to oblivion within seconds, so Durant is probably right that the Nets would be wise to hold off there.
