Kevin Durant Recent trade demands We’ve sent a shock wave around the NBA, but not everyone buys its credibility.
Kendrick Perkins, an analyst at the ESPN NBA, believes that Durrants’ demands are just a ploy.
“I’m watching it and saying,’Why do you want KD?'” Perkins said in the NBA Today on Tuesday. “… And suddenly, when Kyrie Irving chooses his contract, Kevin Durant comes out and says,” I want to be traded. ”
“I came to the conclusion that I don’t believe in Kevin Durant. I don’t believe in him at all. In fact, I don’t want him to be traded at this point. Meaning. I don’t think he believes it. Kevin Durant uses this as a terrifying tactic to give Kyrie Irving the power to sign Brooklyn Nets in the long run. I think I’m going. ”
Perkins’ theory is Nets “Create an atmosphere” They were able to maintain Durant until the fall camp and work hard to see if the disgruntled parties could resolve their differences. After all, Durant has four years left on his contract. Unless Brooklyn meets the asking price, there is little incentive to speed up trading.
But in Minnesota Big hit acquisition Rudy Gobert — fuels Durant-related suspicions of Perkins.
“We’re talking about KD, the top five player and probably the best player in the NBA, but isn’t he still impressed?” Perkins said. “Are you sitting here telling me now that Kevin Durant is still on the market? … If you are another team around the NBA and Kevin Durant is on the market Are you going to tell me that you didn’t gain traction over the weekend? I can’t believe it. ”
On Sunday, ESPN’s Adrian Voinaroski Durant Market “It’s still in shape.”
