The Brooklyn saga continues as Kevin Durant has officially requested a trade out of Brooklyn, just one day after Kyrie Irving announced his intent to pick up his player option and remain at the Barclay’s Center for another season. While the list of suitors is rather short due to cap space and trade assets attractive to the Atlantic Division team, there is one franchise that KD has been linked to in recent days – the Portland Trailblazers.
Before there was any inkling of a trade demand, Damian Lillard and Jusuf Nurkic both posted a photoshopped image of Kevin Durant in the black and red threads. It seemed completely random considering the former MVP and the Portland franchise were never linked before, but now that KD clearly wants out of Brooklyn, there’s a possibility that Durant could end up back in the Pacific Northwest.
Where Kevin Durant will end up remains to be seen because of the offseason has just begun, but this Nike KD 15 in Black/University Red/Light Crimson is arriving soon to Nike.com.
