Kevin Durant knows a thing or two about requesting a trade.
Just five months ago, Durant asked the Brooklyn Nets to trade him to the Phoenix Suns for Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and a multitude of first-round picks.
Now Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard is taking a page out of Durant’s (and many other stars’) playbooks and requesting out after the team failed to trade for another veteran to help contend for a championship.
In a casual Twitter conversation, Durant tried to offer some insight from Lillard’s perspective.
“Fans love the game of basketball, they will move on just like they do when the organization trades a fan favorite,” Durant tweeted.
