The Latest Breaking News from Kevin Durant

NEW YORK — The Brooklyn Nets have gone from being the NBA’s signature attraction on Christmas Day to a team known for endless speculation, controversy and dysfunction.

The disgruntled Brooklyn forward has found excuses to leave teams in the lurch even when they are winning titles.

While the Bulls made early calls on Durant after he demanded a trade from the Nets, the likelihood of KD putting on a Bulls jersey anytime soon remains more fairytale than reality. Not only do the Bulls not fit the trade profile for the star, but there’s some history there…

Given his age and possible decline with nearly $200 million owed him and his recent tendency to miss large chunks of the season due to injury, the disaster potential is not minor.

Some inside the Lakers organization reportedly assert they have more trade targets besides Kyrie Irving, Myles Turner and Buddy Hield.

Presumably, that would be whatever max deal he will be eligible for when the time comes.

Kevin Durant’s trade request, the Rudy Gobert blockbuster deal and the Hawks’ gamble on Dejounte Murray highlight an eventful offseason.

To what extent there were (or are) serious discussions with the Celtics about KD remains unclear.

NEW YORK — A new team has joined the Kevin Durant sweepstakes, and it’s the same team that pried away another Nets superstar.

Murray is putting together quite the summer highlight reel.

Unsurprisingly, Boston didn’t bite.
