Kevin Durant played 129 regular season games with the Brooklyn Nets.
When the going got tough, the weak got going. Durant initially requested a trade during the summer of 2022 only to rescind that request and watch his compadre Kyrie Irving leave ahead of the 2023 trade deadline.
Kevin Durant said he couldn’t have returned sooner from his left calf strain after seven games out, and was “grateful” for the Suns’ 5-day break to help him recover.

When Durant had an opportunity to follow Irving and James Harden before him out the door from Brooklyn, he didn't bat an eye.
Durant's right-hand man, Rich Kleinman, was as instrumental as any party in revisiting an the earlier trade request and bringing the said trade to the finish line between Brooklyn and Phoenix.
Durant, Irving, and Harden arrived with championship expectations, but left with a whimper.
Now with Durant facing his former squad, it seems as though the surefire Hall of Famer is buttering up his former franchise.
Should Durant come back and finish the championship quest he started in Brooklyn later on in his career, he can perhaps be considered a Net for life.
Until then, Durant's words hold no water in Nets World.
