Mark Cuban Sounds Off On Kevin Durant Trade Request

What does Mark Cuban have to say?

Kevin Durant wants a trade out of Brooklyn, even though he has four years left on his deal. While speaking to Heavy.com, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban noted that the Nets hold the power, and that teams shouldn’t be too fearful as more and more young players are acting more loyal than the previous generation of stars.

“I think it’s happening less. I think some of the old school guys are still in that mode, but the younger guys… I can’t comment on any one player, but you’re seeing some of the younger guys sign extensions with no player options,” Cuban said. “You know what? You’ve got to separate reality from talk, right? When a guy’s got three or four years left, the team’s got the choice.”

– Spurs want to keep Poeltl around to help young players development
– Sense from teams is Poeltl isn’t as available as they thought
– Back in February, Spurs wanted a rotation player and 1st round pick for Poeltl

The Dallas Mavericks currently have a megastar in Luka Doncic, and Cuban has to make sure he surrounds Doncic with talent, or he’ll eventually want out as well. Having said that, Doncic appears to be quite loyal, and Cuban will be hoping he remains loyal to the Mavs.

As for KD, the Nets are in no hurry to grant his trade request.
