Kevin Durant raised hell this off-season by initiating a trade request to leave Brooklyn.
NBA free agency was dominated by where Durant would land and if the Nets would settle on just any old trade package to get rid of a disgruntled superstar.
In the end, the Nets remained steadfast in their resolve to only trade Durant if it was in the best interest of the team long and short term.
As teams started dropping out of the Durant sweepstakes with the Nets asking price understandably high, the market for the generational basketball talent dried up.
After meeting with owner Joe Tsai two weeks ago to reaffirm his trade request, news broke that Durant and the Nets had reconciled their differences.
Now with the season less than two months away, Durant will have plenty to prove in his quest to deliver Brooklyn its first title.
