While we were all focusing on Kyrie Irving’s whole drama with the Brooklyn Nets, something much sneakier seems to have been going on in the background.
The Nets star may have opted into his $36.9 million player option with the franchise to honor his promise to Kevin Durant. However, until now, it was unclear what the former Warriors man himself was going to do.
Even with all the uncertainty though, most fans expected KD to stay with the Nets. But then, this happened.

But, Ja Morant could be.

So, there you have it.
While Kyrie Irving will stay for a lot of this upcoming season, in all likelihood, Kevin Durant will be long gone.
The reason? Well, most media personnel will be quick to point the finger at Uncle Drew, saying that it was his drama that caused this whole mess. But, while it is possible that is one of the reasons, we’re sure there is a myriad of different ones as well.
All we know right now is… Kevin Durant no longer wants to be with the Brooklyn Nets.
The Dame-KD duo might be happening, after all. Or… he could even join the Warriors’ rivals, right now, in the Memphis Grizzlies.
