The NBA rumor mill has been buzzing for weeks now, especially since Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. Typically, players will communicate with one another to gauge a player's interest in these moments. However, it sounds like that's not the case with Durant.
According to Chris Haynes, the disgruntled star has “gone dark” since requesting a trade from Brooklyn. Other than the occasional Twitter beef with a random fan, nobody has heard from Kevin Durant regarding his future in the NBA.
"Since he requested a trade, there's been numerous stars that I've spoken to that have been trying to get in touch with him… KD has gone dark. He's not answering anybody's phone calls, not responding to texts."@ChrisBHaynes on Kevin Durant 😳pic.twitter.com/pAPkxBT1sB

There have been murmurs of teams like the Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns, Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors, and other organizations all showing interest in trading for Kevin Durant. Even so, none of the stars within those organizations have heard a peep from Durant. Perhaps the Nets are purposely keeping it under wraps, or maybe the superstar small forward is just going with the flow.
Nobody is sure what is going on for the time being. The Nets are going to take their time with trading Kevin Durant, as the organization must make the right decision to set themselves up with a decent roster and future. So, all eyes are on Brooklyn right now, but nothing moves forward until the front office finalizes its decision.
The timetable for a trade is up in the air. It's July, which gives the Nets plenty of time to find a deal they find suitable. Hopefully, a move comes to fruition in the coming months, as teams across the league prepare for the new season in late August through September. Keep tabs on this situation, as Kevin Durant should have a new home before the start of the season.
