Kevin Durant expounded on his trade request from the Brooklyn Nets and his ultimate decision to remain with the franchise.
"I was upset and as a family, they understood that I was upset," said Durant via Brian Lewis of the New York Post. "And some of the stuff they agree with. And so we talked about and it was over a couple of months, couple of weeks…we worked it out from there, and I’m here now."
As much as Durant wanted out, he saw the Nets as continuing to be a good option.
"I felt like we had a good team," said Durant via Nick Friedell of ESPN. "I felt like this is the place I said I wanted to be. We started to set something up in the future to be a solid team. So to be honest I thought this was still a great option, too."
In Durant's comments to the media, he also alluded to how there were a lot of inaccuracies with the reporting.
