Sports Take: Brooklyn Nets’ offseason prove NBA owners want control back

By Gio Gennero | Sports Writer

Seemingly the minute the offseason started, Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets began one of the most publicized back-and-forth’s in NBA history. With everything between trade requests and ultimatums, it was an ugly scene all summer. As of now, Durant rescinded his demands and will return to play for the Nets. If it stays as is, I believe this will lead to more attempts from NBA owners to reclaim power.

It’s pretty obvious these days that the NBA is the player’s league. The biggest reason for this is Lebron James, who has made a lot of moves that have given players not only more control, but a bigger voice.
