Even when he doesn’t want to, Kevin Durant continues to make noise in the league. After asking for a trade to the Brooklyn Nets in late June, Durant became the talk of the town in the league. Much has been said about this situation, but nothing is certain at this time.
The Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics have been mentioned as the preferred franchises to land the two-time NBA champion, with the latter considered the “unofficial favorites” to secure Durant’s services soon. In recent days, he’s been spotted hanging out with James Harden and Jayson Tatum, which doesn’t help clarify what’s next for KD.
Still, the player doesn’t pay much attention to it at the moment and travels around the world, trying to have fun wherever he can. In recent hours, he has been spotted on the French Riviera, walking through the streets of Saint-Tropez at 3 a.m. followed by a group of people, including women who couldn’t take their eyes off Durant.
Instagram page Niuzy shared a series of photos of the disgruntled Brooklyn Nets superstar walking the streets of Saint-Tropez, and he was even spotted dribbling a basketball.
It seems that even when he’s partying and having fun, Durant doesn’t miss an opportunity to hoop. His status with the Nets remains unclear. Even after his ultimatum to team owner Joe Tsai, KD didn’t budge and the Nets have “no rush” to trade him despite rumored interest from the Sixers.
This saga could take longer than we think to resolve, and KD could start the 2022/23 NBA season with the Nets if they can’t find the right deal to let the player go. Meanwhile, he’s having a good time, hoping that when training camp begins, he’ll be away from wandering around the Nets.
