It's me or them!
Announced by
The Athletic
on Monday, Kevin Durant issued an ultimatum to the leaders of the Brooklyn Nets.
If Nets owner Joe Tsai wants him to stay in the franchise, he'll have to part ways with coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks.
According to the American media, Durant would have met Tsai in London to tell him that he no longer had confidence in the management of the team after the distressing elimination against Boston in the first round of the play-offs last season.
Elected MVP in 2014, he asked to be traded in June despite an exorbitant contract (194 million euros for a 4-year extension).
One can understand Durant's disappointment as the Nets were presented as favorites for the title last season with the association of stars Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden.
They ultimately disappointed with a 44-38 regular season record.
The Nash-Marks duo no longer satisfies the double NBA champion (2017,2018) who is trying to find a way out, in vain.
Joe Tsai announced that it would cost a gargantuan sum to appropriate the services of Kevin Durant, among the teams best placed to sign the 33-year-old winger: Boston Celtics, the Miami Heat and the Toronto Raptors.
