The NBA’s offseason has been commanded by one man so far. Kevin Durant asked for a trade after another early playoff exit. However, the Brooklyn Nets are using their powers to the fullest. Not accepting any trade without the right exchange, the situation has come to a near impossible trade. Moreover, the Skim Realer’s ultimatum didn’t fall in his favor, either. Shockingly, the NBA world came to a still when reports came out about the 12-time All-Star retiring. However, Durant denied all the rumors.

The talks around KD have been running all over the place. It all started with the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat being the front runners. However, the Nets’ huge asking price shut down those possibilities. That didn’t change when the Boston Celtics tried to take a stab at Durant. Then came the final piece, KD’s ultimatum. The 4-time scoring champion wants the Brooklyn Nets to choose between their coaching staff or a franchise cornerstone.

However, the fans chose violence against him. And the main reason was Durant’s snub from former teammate Draymond Green’s wedding.
Recently, Draymond tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Hazel after being engaged for three years. The reigning champ invited everyone from LeBron James to Stephen Curry and even finals opponent Jayson Tatum.

However, the player who he won 2 championships with didn’t make the cut. Kevin Durant was not among the star-studded lineup for Green’s wedding. However, it all comes down to a personal choice. But it sure was surprising to see.
