The suspense over Kevin Durant’s future with the Brooklyn Nets continues to have daily twists and turns. The two-time champion has a healthy 4-years $194M left on his contract as GM Sean Marks looks to get the best deal off the Slim Reaper.
Though there have been multiple teams lining up to make their pitches for the two-time Finals MVP, the Nets haven’t received their ideal offer, continuing to use their leverage. Recently, KD met with owner Joe Tsai to discuss possible scenarios in the given situation.
According to trusted sources, the four-time scoring champion has a few conditions he laid in front of the Alibaba co-founder. Nonetheless, it does not look likely Durant will have his way this time.

As new developments continue to emerge daily, Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless wasn’t one to hold back, throwing shots at KD, suggesting he would remain in Brooklyn for the upcoming 2022-23 season.
Skip Bayless believes Joe Tsai has the bargaining edge over Kevin Durant.
Though he may be an ardent fan of Durant, Skip is confident that the twelve-time All-Star will continue to remain with the Nets. The Undisputed analyst tweeted the following, addressing the conditions Durant had laid in front of owner Joe Tsai.
While Skip won’t be surprised if the Nets replaced head coach Steve Nash, he’s confident of the front office not being at the mercy of KD. Surprisingly at the time, many in the media reported Nash being KD’s top choice for the job.
Nonetheless, Skip makes a valid point, given the Nets superstar’s nature of the contract. Contrary to the media reports, the Nets have the edge as negotiations continue.
