NBA As soon as the free market opened, shocking news immediately broke: Durant is leaving! According to reports from the front, Durant called Nets boss Tsai Chongxin as soon as the free market opened and stated that he wanted to be traded away from the Nets without explaining any reason. Subsequently, Durant's Rich Kleiman took over all matters and discussed Durant's intention to trade with Nets general manager Sean Marks, which caused a thousand waves. So far, there have been 15 The team made an offer, hoping to get Durant!
Although Durant is 34 years old, in the past season, he averaged 29.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 37.2 minutes per game. In the playoffs , he averaged 26.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.3 assists in 44 minutes per game. He is still the best player in the league today. The strength of a superstar. At the same time, Durant also has a four-year, 198 million contract, which is also a guarantee for teams that hope to get him. It is almost certain that all teams interested in competing for the championship will flock to Durant, but It is necessary to come up with enough chips to make the Nets interested and win the qualification to participate in the competition. This is destined to be another ruthless fight full of "bloody".
So, many people can't help but want to ask a question, why did Durant leave? It was Durant's choice to leave the Golden State Warriors and join the Nets. The Nets were very obedient to Durant. They asked for money and hired people. Is there anything else Durant is dissatisfied with? Is there any reason why he must leave? ? We conducted in-depth research and discovered the four real "reasons" why Durant left the grid in anger: one person, one thing, one team and one mind!
"Off the grid" because of one person: Irving
Irving is Durant's good brother. This is beyond doubt. During the All-Star game, Durant, who was still in the Golden State Warriors, and Durant who were still in the Golden State Warriors Celtics 's Irving has already plotted the possibility of playing together. Irving has publicly stated more than once that Durant is the only person who understands him. However, at the time, Irving said that it was because of the death of his grandfather that he betrayed his faith and left the Celtics. This year, because of his so-called freedom and belief, he was unwilling to accept the Nets' long-term contract with restrictive clauses, which led to the breakdown of contract renewal negotiations and settled for the next best thing. Select the Execution Player option.
Irving's words and deeds were inconsistent and he went his own way, which broke Durant's heart. Irving, a good brother who Durant supported unconditionally, would only consider his own feelings and interests when making any choice, and would not compete with him. This good brother had no exchange or communication. The contract renewal negotiation between Irving and the Nets broke down, which completely made Durant see Irving's true face. The so-called freedom and belief are just excuses for his selfishness, hoping to gain both fame and wealth. Just a fig leaf. Recognizing Irving's hypocrisy, Durant felt betrayed by his "good brother". The break with Irving was undoubtedly the first reason why Durant left the Nets!
"Off the grid" due to one thing: no hope of competing for the championship
During the three years that Durant and Irving worked together with the Nets, the Nets played a total of 247 games, and Durant and Irving only played 58 of them together. Competitions only account for 23% of them. In the first round of this year's playoffs, with the departure of Harden , the Nets, which had Durant and Irving, were swept out by the Celtics 4-0, leaving Durant, who had tried his best, to become this year's Nets. The only superstar to be swept, all this made Durant feel deeply ashamed. At the same time, negotiations between the Nets and Irving broke down. Irving exercised his player option and was likely to be traded away from the team. Moreover, Irving, who only has one year left on his contract, will definitely not be able to exchange for any good players. This also means that in the next few years, the Nets will There is only one "pseudo-super giant" Simons who cannot be supported. It is unknown when he will be able to play. All of this made Durant, who continued to stay in the Nets, unable to see any chance of winning the championship in the future and lost patience. This became the second reason for Durant to leave the Nets.
"Off the grid" because of the first team: Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors won the championship this year, Green's formula completely closed the loop: We were champions before you came, you will not be champions after you leave, and we will still be after you leave. champion! When the Golden State Warriors won the championship, Durant became the most embarrassing person. From the moment the Golden State Warriors won the championship, Durant was ridiculed by everyone. The more lively the Golden State Warriors were, the more Durant became. lonely. In a recent interview, Durant was still brooding about this matter and said very angrily: My contribution to the Golden State Warriors should not be denied, and I should be respected even more after I left the Golden State Warriors. Obviously, the Golden State Warriors won the championship without Durant, which made Durant a little bit embarrassed. He must win again to prove himself and slap everyone in the face, as Dream Chaser Green said after winning the championship this year. The same: I will use the championship to shut up all those who doubt me. Leaving the Nets to join a team with the potential to win the championship became Durant's only desperate choice.
"Off the grid" because of one thing: self-esteem
The 2012 Finals loss to James and the Heat gave Durant the title of "Du Lao Er". After losing to the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 Western Conference Finals, During the offseason, he joined the Golden State Warriors to form the Tsunami Brothers, which earned Durant the reputation of "joining if you can't beat him." From leaving the Golden State Warriors in 2019 to winning the Golden State Warriors championship in 2022, Durant accomplished nothing, leaving " "Green's Formula" completely formed a closed loop, once again deeply hurting Durant. He left the Thunder because Durant was really overwhelmed. He was suppressed by Oden in the draft, and was knocked down by James in the finals. He could no longer hold on to his reputation as the second best player in a thousand years, so he joined and was defeated by James. The Golden State Warriors then led the Golden State Warriors to defeat James, which became Durant's only path to redemption that year. Leaving the Thunder was the first step to escape.
In a recent interview, Durant once confided in his heart and explained the reason for leaving the Golden State Warriors. The quarrel with Dream Green was only the cause. The most important thing was that he could not feel the attention of the management and the nonchalant attitude of other players. Golden State What seemed like a small matter to the Warriors' management and players was a big deal in Durant's heart. Durant's extremely fragile self-esteem was hurt, and he could only choose to escape and leave the Golden State Warriors that made him famous.
The same situation also happened in today's Nets. Irving is Durant's good brother, coach Nash is Durant's good friend, Harden, Griffin , Aldridge and others. More or less, it was because of Durant that he joined the Nets. The current Brooklyn Nets can be said to have been established by Durant, at least that's what Durant thinks. However, things did not go in the direction Durant expected. The Nets aircraft carrier he built was already riddled with holes. Irving missed the game without vaccination. Harden left the 76ers. Nash failed in his tactics and was swept out. Irving Contract renewal negotiations with the Nets broke down and so on. What happened in the Nets became the last straw for Durant, causing Durant's self-esteem to be shattered again. His "leader" once again felt the taste of losing everyone's respect, and subconsciously once again Choosing to escape and leaving the "sad place" of the Nets is exactly the same as leaving the Thunder and Golden State Warriors!
Durant was so angry that he "went off the grid" just because of "one person, one thing, one team, one mind"! As a basketball superstar, Durant is well-deserved. As an ordinary person with a mature mind, Durant is far from him. When Durant truly "grows up", maybe Xiao Shuai can feel the true meaning of life. of happiness.Durant's potential next homes include the Suns, Heat, 76ers, etc. Among the 30 teams in the league, due to salary contracts and trading chips, the only one that cannot get Durant is the Golden State Warriors. After Xiaoshuai's death, he returned to the Bay Area as an escape route. The once most successful and glorious "hometown" can no longer go back. People have to lament this damn fate, what a twist of fate!
