Y’all. It’s happening. Kevin Durant really requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. I have no idea what to do with myself, to be completely honest.
There’s no precedent at all for this. It’s not very often that one of the best five or so players in the league requests to be traded. It actually doesn’t happen. On top of that, NBA free agency begins in — quite literally — a couple of hours.
Kevin Durant just successfully broke the league. Everyone is waiting on him now.
We have no idea how any of this works. That’s good for us, though — it means complete chaos. And the fans are leaning all the way into it with these wild Durant trades to their favorite teams in the trade machine.
Y’all are going to want to see these.

To the 76ers for Tobias Harris straight up
There’s absolutely no way in the world this one happens. It’s completely ridiculous.
76ers fans would absolutely love it, though.
Just retweeting this cause this worked in the trade machine thing https://t.co/8M66AbWnTd

Durant, Harden and Embiid, huh? Would be a pretty fun combination.

Kevin Durant to the Wizards for, well, everything
As a Wizards fan, sign me up. Please.

There might not be a roster outside of Durant and Bradley Beal. But who cares? It’s Kevin Durant, y’all.

Kevin Durant to the Grizzlies
This one feels kind of…reasonable? Durant to the Grizzlies for Desmond Bane, Steven Adams, Dillon Brooks and lots of draft picks. That could be fun.
More trade machine deals, now, please. https://t.co/A0AAcummX5

KD back to the Warriors
This fan doesn’t seem to like this deal at all and that’s reasonable. The Warriors would be completely surrendering their future to run things back with KD.
But it’s also KD. You kind of have to think about it.
This has to be the most rediculous trade idea have ever seen!!!.
Your whole future for 2 or 3yrs not more than 70% guarantee of success???
Hell NO KD ain't worth all that💯💯 pic.twitter.com/AuyHofPfpq

Kevin Durant to the Heat
This one gets complicated as a 3-team deal. Durant goes to the Heat, the Nets get D’Angelo Russell, Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson back and the Timberwolves get Kyle Lowry to man their point guard slot.
It’s chaotic, but I like it.

Durant to the Celtics
The Celtics are literally trading their whole team for Durant here. I can dig it.
Who says no? For KD btw pic.twitter.com/239n5Ab0Cb

Durant to the Suns
An Ayton sign-and-trade makes a ton of sense for the Nets here. This isn’t a bad one at all.

Durant to the Mavericks
Durant and Luka would be an absolutely terrifying combination.
Also give them every pick available. Who says no?? LOL pic.twitter.com/LWHXpsncU6

The most complicated trade ever
To be completely honest, I don’t even know where Durant ends up here. I think on the Spurs. This is just…impossible.
