The Nets are trying to mend fences.
Kevin Durant’s request for a potential trade hasn’t gone anywhere since the report was first announced, and now he is set to meet with team owner Joe Tsai to discuss the situation, according to Steve Deleney of Heavy.
“What I’m hearing is that KD is going to meet with the owner this week,” the source told Heavy Sports. “He’s going to go directly to the owner, Joe Tsai, sometime this week. We’ll see how that works.”
The Nets have declined comment, per Marc Stein.
The vet @SteveBHoop reports that Kevin Durant will meet soon with Nets owner Joe Tsai to discuss the state of Brooklyn's response to Durant's trade request. The Nets declined to comment on the report when I asked them this afternoon.

If the Nets thought they could make their team better by trading Kevin Durant they would do so.
But clearly trading Kevin Durant isn’t that easy, especially if you want stars in return. The best bet moving forward would be to make Durant get used to the idea of playing in Brooklyn next season.
Durant is under contract until 2026 after signing an extension last August.
