Kevin Durant’s time with the Nets may finally be up… or is it?
With the man having 4 whole years left on his deal with Brooklyn, frankly, the only leverage he has, is that he is a superstar. And even that, in this situation, isn’t exactly the most useful thing to weigh over an NBA franchise.
However, even with all this being given though, the franchise seems to be giving some genuine effort towards fulfilling Durantula’s request for this offseason. But, will he really be able to leave?
The logo and NBA legend Jerry West recently revealed his thoughts on just this topic. And well, let’s just say the player isn’t going to love his prediction.

Still, this is the NBA. Anything can happen here.
