Kevin Durant isn’t the only one who dislikes Steve Nash and Sean Marks, to put it nicely.
Brooklyn Nets star player Kyrie Irving reportedly agrees with Kevin Durant in not believing in the direction of the Brooklyn Nets due to the leadership of Brooklyn Nets GM Sean Marks and Head Coach Steve Nash.
“Kyrie Irving hates these guys,” the source told The Post’s Josh Kosman. “He feels that Nash is terrible and Marks is bad.”

Durant shared his feelings with Joe Tsai during a recent meeting in London. According to the report, the Nets have “direct knowledge” concerning why the 12-time All-Star has asked out a year after he signed a four-year, $198 million extension. Also according to the report, Durant “does not have faith” in the direction of the team. He basically said it’s either me or them, referring to Nash and Marks.
If they get rid of them, Durant will gladly stay and play in Brooklyn.
Nets Owner Tsai responded by publicly backing Brooklyn’s front office and coaching staff.
“Our front office and coaching staff have my support,” he wrote on Twitter Monday evening. “We will make decisions in the best interest of the Brooklyn Nets.”

Irving picked up his one-year, $36.5 million player option on June 29th with Durant requesting a trade on the next day.
Talk about a dumpster fire.
