Kevin Durant has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets, but the chances of the Los Angeles Lakers offering Anthony Davis in return is described by one source to Jovan Buha of The Athletic as "zero."

The Lakers are focused on trading for Kyrie Irving, who also appears to be focused on finding his way to the franchise. A scenario in which the Lakers would acquire both Irving and Durant in a package deal has been floated by multiple executives to ESPN.

Durant has four seasons remaining on his contract and has the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat atop his wish list. Irving is on an expiring contract and has limited trade value currently. 

Kyrie Irving "is focused on getting to the Lakers," reports Brian Windhorst.

The Brooklyn Nets will have a limited set of teams interested in trading for Irving given his status on an expiring $36.5 million contract. 

The Lakers are also motivated to convert Russell Westbrook into a more productive roster. 

Nic Claxton has agreed to a two-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets.

Claxton averaged 8.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 20.7 minutes over 47 games last season. The Nets drafted Claxton with the first pick of the second round in 2019.

Claxton is represented by Richard Beda.

Patty Mills has agreed to re-sign with the Brooklyn Nets on a two-year, $14.5 million deal.

Mills opted for free agency by declining his $6.2 million option. 

Mills is represented by Steven Heumann. 

The Los Angeles Lakers would have interest in acquiring Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in a package deal, league executives have floated to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

The Lakers have had prior interest in acquiring Kyrie Irving this offseason.

In order to acquire Durant and Irving, the Lakers would have to build a package around Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and future draft picks.

While Westbrook is on an expiring contract, he is widely viewed as a negative asset.

The Nets almost certainly could receive a more competitive offer from another team, though Davis would give them a top-10 talent.

Kyrie Irving is "fully supportive" of Kevin Durant's decision to seek a trade from the Brooklyn Nets.

Irving decided top opt into his $36.5 million contract with the Nets this week, but he knew that Durant requesting a trade was a possibility.

The Nets and Irving were close on a new contract, which would have also stabilized their relationship with Durant.

Irving and Durant chose to sign with the Nets as a tandem in 2019.

The Brooklyn Nets are prepared to hold firm on a return of Devin Booker if they trade Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns, sources tell Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer.

The Suns will likely hold the line on not including Booker in a package for Durant.

The early indications are that the Nets are not inclined to take a sign-and-trade of Deandre Ayton.

The Nets would have to trade Ben Simmons before acquiring Booker, or Bam Adebayo from the Miami Heat, due to the limit of only having one designed rookie-scale contract players on the roster acquired by trade.

The Suns have been widely expected to sign Booker to a supermax extension this offseason. 

Kevin Durant has listed the Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat as his preferred trade destinations.

The Suns could put together a package of proven players and draft picks. Deandre Ayton could go the Nets in a sign-and-trade as part of a Durant package.

The Heat could similarly trade a young player like Tyler Herro along with draft pick compensation.

The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to acquire Royce O'Neale from the Utah Jazz for a 2023 first round pick, which will be the lesser of their own, Houston or Philadelphia's.

The Nets have been linked to O'Neale while the Jazz are working to reshape their roster.

Brooklyn will use the $11.3 million trade exception from the James Harden trade. O'Neale has $9.2 million and $9.5 million remaining on his contract. 

Kevin Durant has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets.

Sean Marks will reportedly work with Durant and his business partner, Rich Kleiman, on finding a trade. Durant requested the trade directly to Joe Tsai. The Nets have received trade inquiries from more than half the league during the first hour following reports of Durant's trade request. 

Durant has four seasons remaining on his contract extension he signed with the Nets last August. The future of Durant with the Nets became perilous following the franchise's contract standoff with Kyrie Irving. The Nets had been planning for a potential Durant trade request for several weeks.

Durant and Irving had no contact with the Nets after Irving opted into his deal on Monday, which created a sense of inevitability Durant would ask for a trade.

The Houston Rockets control Brooklyn's draft through 2027, which disincentivizes the Nets from moving forward with a full rebuild.

Wojnarowski also reported late on Thursday evening on Sports Center that the Golden State Warriors winning the title accelerated his decision.

"Golden State winning the championship this season and just the flood of criticism and second guessing that landed on Kevin Durant, I think it contributed to a tipping point," said Wojnarowski. 

There has been "tremendous ferocity" in the Brooklyn front office surrounding the Durant trade talks. One team made an initial offer to the Nets and then called back with an improved trade offer for Durant. 

The Nets are looking for a trade package that beats what the New Orleans Pelicans received for Anthony Davis and the Oklahoma City Thunder received for Paul George.
