Before Kevin Durant and the Nets agreed back on August 23 to “continue their partnership,” Bobby Marks suggested that if KD were forced to return to Brooklyn, Media Day on September 26 would no doubt be difficult:
Can you picture a media day with Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons all in their Nets uniforms getting ready for the first practice? The front office, coaching staff and players would almost have to hold an intervention before they step on the court.
The scenario now seems only a bit far-fetched. Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Nets seemingly have let bygones be bygones, with reports that Durant left that meeting in Los Angeles in an upbeat mood and ample evidence Irving wants a career in New York.
