In a Twitter conservation that went on from Monday night through Tuesday morning, Kevin Durant and reporter Tommy Beer talked about a lot of things related to the NBA, including what information fans are entitled to, the upcoming Collective Bargaining Agreement and where his trade request fits in all that.
There wasn’t much news in the exchange and KD didn’t specifically acknowledge the request, but it sure was implied in the conversation. It was illuminating particularly in the context of how his request — reportedly coming hours before his four-year, $198 million deal kicked in — may be a factor in the CBA talks.
