Unfortunately, Kevin Durant is not going to be the last, not even close.
A whole recent slew of young NBA stars signed massive contract extensions with their teams prior to now week for staggering dollars, but how a lot of them will make it to the top of those megadeals without asking to be traded as Durant did last week?
KD twice previously switched teams as a free agent — which was fully his right each times, don’t get it twisted — from Oklahoma City to the multiple titles he won with Golden State to his gone-bust teaming with Kyrie Irving with the Nets.
Durant asking out last week got here lower than 11 months since Brooklyn re-signed him to a four-year, $198 million contract extension that kicks on this season.
