Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving said Saturday say players forcing trades in the NBA is good for the league.
for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a first-round pick and two second-rounders. Irving previously had left the Cavaliers for Boston following a trade request and then escaped the Celtics for the Nets as a free agent.
“Not every employer you’re going to get along with, so if you have a chance to go somewhere else, and you’re doing it legally, then I don’t think there’s a problem with it.” “I had a plan in place where I wanted to stay in Brooklyn long-term,” said Irving, who will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. “Being a Net was a dream come true for me. Obviously, I wish things could have worked out for the best of all of us in terms of winning the championship, and etching our names in the history of the NBA. Those are big aspirations, but it sounds easier said than done.
Durant has been sidelined since early January with a knee injury, but hopes to join Devin Booker, Chris Paul and the Suns on the court shortly after the All-Star break.
