Nets’ Kevin Durant Putting In That Work This Offseason
Two-time Finals MVP and current Nets forward Kevin Durant requested a trade from Brooklyn, his business manager Rich Kleiman told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski last month.
Also according ESPN, Sean Marks would be working with Durant and representation to find a work best for both sides.
So far, they haven’t found a trade that would work for all parties. So, being the professional that Durant is he goes to the gym to work out with his longtime trainer Adam Harrington.
According to Basketball News, The Nets recently parted ways with Harrington.
Speaking of Durant, he was on Twitter and clapped back with as few as four to five words. The trend for Durant has continued recently.
A fan reached out to him, offering help to correct Durant’s negative image by highlighting some of his philanthropic work that doesn’t get a lot of attention. Durant promptly told the ‘kid’ to beat it.
