The NBA world witnessed one of the most dramatic transfers in the current season ahead of the trade deadline. Notably, the former Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving trade news took the fans by surprise as the duo dominated the hardwood with their camaraderie and skills. Moreover, the recent transfers put an end to a 4-season-long affinity between the duo. The fans speculated various reasons online for the split up as the stars refrained from commenting on the issue. However, Durant recently opened on the big Kyrie Irving trade days after the contract. 

Irving moved a forceful trade out of the Nets team while Slim Reaper was away with an injury. Though a lot of NBA stars and analysts commented on the trade, KD remained silent until he moved off the Brooklyn camp. Durant recently addressed a press conference after his trade to the Phoenix Suns and finally broke his silence on the Irving trade.

KD went on to talk about the impact he had on Uncle Drew’s trade. He added, “He’s a Hall of Fame player…and we relied on that. So without him, we didn’t have a clear identity. So that was tough for me to stomach.” However, a recent statement by former Nets star James Harden provided a different angle on the departure of the stars.
