Kevin Durant's future: Where will Nets star get traded? NBA executives weigh in.

The biggest question around the NBA: How will the Brooklyn Nets-Kevin Durant situation unfold?

Will the Nets trade him (and to whom) or will they play hardball and not acquiesce to his ultimatum of keeping either him or general manager Sean Marks and coach Steve Nash?

Durant reiterated his request for a trade and the ultimatum in a meeting with Nets owner Joe Tsai, who quickly tweeted his support for the front office and coaching staffs after details of the meeting became public in a report in The Athletic.

It’s unusual for offseason drama to extend this far into the summer, but it happens. The summer LeBron James rejoined the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014, Kevin Love was traded from Minnesota to Cleveland in late August, and the Cavs also sent Kyrie Irving to Boston in 2017 in late August. In 2012, Oklahoma City trade James Harden to Houston in late October, just before the regular season began and after Harden and the Thunder failed to reach terms on an extension.
