Kevin Durant's request to be traded from the Brooklyn Nets shook this year's offseason, but ultimately didn't come to fruition.
Now, months later and with the Nets in a tenuous position at best, Durant explained the reasons behind his request in. Basically, the former MVP said he out from the Nets because he was unhappy with the level of intensity around him and how much the team's failures could be ascribed to him:
"This was the type of s—t I was coming at them with. It wasn't like, 'Yo, y'all need to make sure everybody around me can make my life easier.' Hell nah, I want to make everybody else's life easier. Ask Steve Nash, you can go call him right now. I would say, 'Yo, I need more closeout drills. We need to practice more.' That's what I was on.
Durant also discussed why the team fell flat on its face last season, admitting the team didn't have"good preparation" or"great energy," something he feels is changing under new Nets head coach Jacques Vaughn.It's been something of a nightmare season for the Nets, even with Durant looking good as ever with 30.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.
Maybe it's unfair to put that on Durant, though he did choose to join the Nets and clearly had a say in many of their major decisions. He certainly seems to think that way, as he made a point of noting the talent currently around him and acknowledging the expectations he still faces."Look at our starting lineup. Edmond Sumner, Royce O'Neale, Joe Harris, [Nic] Claxton and me. It's not disrespect, but what are you expecting from that group?" Durant asked of B/R.
