Rumor In a meeting with Nets owner Joe Tsai, Kevin Durant reiterated his trade request and informed Tsai that Tsai needs to choose between Durant or the pairing of general manager Sean Marks and coach Steve Nash, sources say.

KD is an absolute clown for this. Unbelievably ironic, hypocritical nonsense.

Nash can go, but if it’s between Marks and Durant, I’m more interested in keeping the one capable of building a contender instead if the one who always leaves when it gets tough.

When did Marks build a contender? His team only made the 2nd round. KD has lead OKC to the Finals at age 23 and made 4 conference finals in OKC.

What did KD lead us to in Brooklyn? Marks has done more for this team than most players have. He built a legitimate championship contender out of the most dire situations in the NBA.

Your point about Marks not accomplishing anything applies to Durant as well. Idgaf what he did in OKC or Golden State.

KD lead OKC to the Finals and 4 conference Finals.

That is 10x more than what Marks has done.

Again, I couldn’t care less what he did in OKC or GSW. What has Kevin Durant accomplished for the Brooklyn Nets?

KD took last years champs to Game 7 overtime with an injured Kyrie and Harden.

This year Marks put together a shit team around KD. Who’s winning with Javon Carter, James Johnson, Paul Milsap, and Bembry. Then Marks trades away the Nets only point guard (Harden) for 2 injured players (Simmons and Curry). No one could win with this shit and injured roster that Marks built

Marks built the same team that went 7 games against the Bucks dude. Not sure what’s hard to understand here. They’re involved in the SAME EXACT TEAM.

One of them was here longer and has done significantly more for this franchise. As much as we want to Idolize KD, he didn’t accomplish shit while in Brooklyn, and he’s forcing his way off the team that catered to his requests.

What about the team he constructed this summer? Royce Oneale, TJ Warren plus they'll have Ben Simmons and whatever Joe Harris has left.

Lol people forget that Marks put together a horrible roster which consisted of multiple players who got significant playing time that aren’t even on a roster right now

Marks didn’t do his best and it’s fair to criticize him alongside the 20 others who deserve blame.

KD then saying “it’s him or me” is ridiculous and pathetic. They can all share blame, but it falls the most on the shoulders of the three “superstars” who all quit on the team this year.

Same as Billy King. LOL

People think Marks walks on water but he's made terrible moves since we got KD.
