After a long summer of speculation and rumors, the Nets announced Tuesday that Kevin Durant isn’t going anywhere. In a statement from general manager Sean Marks, it was made clear that there will be no regime changes and Durant will not be dealt anywhere anytime soon.
“Steve Nash and I, together with Joe Tsai and Clara Wu Tsai, met with Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman in Los Angeles yesterday,” Marks said in the statement. “We have agreed to move forward with our partnership. We are focusing on basketball, with one collective goal in mind: build a lasting franchise to bring a championship to Brooklyn.
