Nets owner Joe Tsai broke his public silence regarding Kevin Durant’s trade request Monday, taking to Twitter to issue a firm defense of the franchise’s front office and coaching staff.
“Our front office and coaching staff have my support,” Tsai wrote. “We will make decisions in the best interest of the Brooklyn Nets.”
Tsai’s brief statement comes in the wake of a face-to-face meeting with Durant over the weekend in London to discuss the star forward’s outstanding trade request. In the meeting, Durant reiterated his request to be moved out of Brooklyn, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
