Kendrick Perkins, a Former Celtics Centre, Has a Strong Opinion on The Kevin Durant Trade Rumours!

On NBC Sports Boston, Kendrick Perkins made a big statement on the Kevin Durant trade rumours.

After Kevin Durant placed himself up for trade last week, NBA fans were in a state of shock and disbelief.

KD has been with the Nets for 90 games and one playoff series win after signing as a free agency in the summer of 2019.

The news of Durant’s trade request broke last week, and it doesn’t sound like much progress was made in finding the Nets forward a new team during that time, according to multiple reports.

Current trade speculations, include the Nets’ price for KD.

Kendrick Perkins gave an unusual view on the Kevin Durant trade rumours during a segment on ESPN’s “NBA Today” broadcast. Kevin Durant doesn’t want to be traded, according to the former Boston Celtics centre.

Durant does not have to be traded by the Nets. As long as they don’t rush, they can take their time with this.

This season marks the start of the four-year, $194 million contract deal he signed last August (with no player or team option). There is virtually nothing that he can do to change things in this case.

A healthy Ben Simmons, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving can all play together for the Nets this season and see what happens.

Durant may decide to stay if the club exceeds expectations early in the season. A trade that does not include a large number of first-round draught picks and at least one promising young player is unlikely to entice the Nets.
