Joe Tsai, the Brooklyn Nets’ owner/governor (governor is becoming an increasingly more common designation for owner in NBA circles), has seemingly taken a firm stand against Kevin Durant dictating the terms of the franchise’s hierarchy.
The two reportedly met in London in the United Kingdom last week and the outcome was Durant issuing Tsai an ultimatum after having already demanded to be traded on June 30. The 33-year-forward informed the 58-year-old former Yale University lacrosse standout a choice had to be made: choose between him and general manager Sean Marks and head coach Steve Nash.
But he is engaging in what is seemingly classic passive-aggressive behavior and misplaced frustration. It is a reasonable premise that the source of Durant’s grievance is his friend and current Nets teammate Kyrie Irving, who is the primary source of why Durant is a Net. Irving sold Durant on joining him to sign with the franchise as free-agents in July of 2019 with the vision of the duo winning multiple titles.
The Nets? They have become the NBA’s top rated soap opera. They traded for superstar guard James Harden in January of 2021 only to see him grow disgruntled with the team’s dysfunction in large part due to Irving taking leave of absences for personal reasons and being unable to play home games in Brooklyn for most of last season as a result New York City’s rigid COVID vaccine mandates, which weren’t roll backed until late March.
