All it took was a few days for the Brooklyn Nets to explode in disarray. The Kevin Durant side looked to be a formidable contender. Both Kyrie Irving and the Slim Reaper had figured out their dynamic to create a championship atmosphere. However, since the organization wasn’t willing to offer an extension to KAI, they lost the superstar. Fans can only hope and pray for KD to somehow keep the power scales in place. However, according to Stephen A. Smith, the 13-time All-Star could also be packing his bags in a few days.

The trade deadline was cold up until the beginning of this week. Irving’s move to Dallas is arguably the biggest one coming out of the period this season. That was until Smith broke the news surrounding Durant. Notably, after losing his friend to Luka Doncic, the two-time Finals MVP is reportedly looking for a new home. In addition, the destination seems to be one KD has been linked to since initially asking for a trade request before the season.
