Fadeaway World
Since making his trade request official, Kevin Durant has completely hijacked the 2022 offseason. Despite free agency having opened up days ago, many teams and players find themselves playing a waiting game to see where Durant will land before it's all said and done.
Unfortunately for the NBA community, there's actually a decent chance that Durant goes nowhere — at least, for a while.
According to league insider Bobby Marks, Durant could still be on the team roster by training camp.
KD still has several years left on his deal, so it's not like he has much leverage in this situation. If the Nets don't want to trade him, or can't find a return they really like, they could just keep him around like the Lakers did with Kobe Bryant back in 2007.
