Kevin Durant is overplaying his hand, and the Brooklyn Nets are calling his bluff.
Some six weeks after he first requested a trade, Durant again met with Nets owner Joe Tsai to deliver an ultimatum, per The Athletic's Shams Charania: Grant the request or fire both general manager Sean Marks and head coach Steve Nash. It has been another week since Tsai all but confirmed the report on Twitter.
"Our front office and coaching staff have my support," he said soon after the news broke, essentially siding against a pantheon player in his prime.
