Woj Bomb! Kevin Durant is requesting a trade from the Brooklyn Nets a year after he signed a $200 million extension:

Brooklyn Nets GM Sean Marks is working with Kevin Durant and his business manager Rich Kleiman on finding a trade for the franchise star, Kleiman tells ESPN.

Not even an hour later. Lol:

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving had no contact with the franchise after Irving opted into his deal on Monday, and a sense of inevitability existed that Durant would eventually ask for a trade, sources tell ESPN. It happened today.

P.S. Don’t know how valid this is from a guy who has a million followers on Snapchat and invented a company called Snapback Sports, which must be a cousin of Ballsack, but take this however you want:

SOURCES: A third team has just entered the Kevin Durant sweepstakes.

Daryl Morey and the Sixers are now all in for KD.
