Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant could be on the roster longer than anticipated. According to ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the organization is "trying to create an outline" regarding the expectations for the clubs interested in making a move to acquire the former MVP. After Rudy Gobert was traded to Minnesota for a hefty amount of first-round draft picks, the Nets are commanding plenty in return. With the regular season not starting until October, Brooklyn is in the driver's seat and may wait things out in hopes of receiving the best offer possible. Currently, the Suns, Heat, Raptors, and Warriors are teams that have been involved in trade rumors surrounding the veteran, although certainly, anything can happen moving ahead. However, regardless of where Durant goes next, he should continue being one of the best fantasy options on the planet.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant is still with the team after recently requesting a trade. Many clubs have inquired about the superstar, with Golden State reportedly emerging as a possible destination. Without question, the asking price for the former MVP is high, so Brooklyn is looking for multiple first-round picks. Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga, and James Wiseman have also been mentioned as potential trades pieces. Nevertheless, the 33-year-old, who played for the Warriors throughout three seasons, could end up reuniting with his old teammates. While that would be excellent for Durant and his championship aspirations, his pairing with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson may decrease his overall fantasy production this season.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant is nearly a lock to be moved, with the multi-time All-Star recently requesting a trade. While the asking price for acquiring Durant's services was high already, reports suggest the Nets are looking for even more in a potential swap, especially after the Jazz received a generous return for Rudy Gobert. With the request including multiple first-round picks, which Brooklyn desperately needs, and a young superstar, Durant could find himself playing for a team currently not on his wishlist. Yet, he should continue to be a dominant fantasy producer wherever he ends up.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant requested a trade on Thursday, the first day of free agency. However, the organization isn't in a rush to make a move unless the price is right, with ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski reporting that Brooklyn is looking to "get back something of a historic haul." With the Hawks recently giving up three first-round picks to acquire Dejounte Murray from San Antonio, the starting point may need to exceed that for Durant to be dealt.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant, who requested a trade from the Nets on Thursday, has listed the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat as two of the teams on his wish list, according to sources of ESPN. While those two teams could indeed be two of the frontrunners to land the superstar, the Nets will be looking to nab the best possible return for him, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. There will certainly be no shortage of suitors for Durant in the coming days and we should get a better idea of the leading candidates to land the 12-time All-Star soon.

Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant has formally requested to be traded, according to multiple reporters, including ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Woj reports that Nets general manager Sean Marks is now working alongside Durant and his manager to find a trade partner. This is certainly the type of development that can single-handedly shake up an NBA offseason. It was rumored that Durant was frustrated with the Brooklyn front office, and this latest news confirms it. The 33-year-old is coming off yet another sensational season in which he averaged 29.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game while shooting 51.8% from the field and 91% from the line.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant hasn't formally asked for a trade, at least not publicly. However, that doesn't mean there aren't rumblings suggesting the former MVP wants out. According to Ringer columnist Logan Murdock, who has provided stories about the team in the past, there is a belief that Durant may be losing faith in management, specifically owner Joe Tsai and general manager Sean Marks, surrounding the handling of the Kyrie Irving situation. Durant hasn't spoken with anyone from the organization in weeks, so fantasy managers and Nets' fans shouldn't be surprised if he has already played his final game in Brooklyn. Yet, no matter where he ends up, he'll still be considered one of the top fantasy producers on the planet and should continue to be regarded as such.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant hasn't requested a trade, at least not yet. With Kyrie Irving recently giving the organization a list of his preferred destinations, there are rumblings that Durant will be the next to leave. However, according to ESPN NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski, there haven't been any discussions of the sort. The veteran was having another MVP-caliber year before missing time due to a knee injury, finishing the 2021-22 season by averaging 29.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 6.4 assists. There may be more to come surrounding this situation, although the 33-year-old should remain an elite fantasy option wherever he suits up moving ahead.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant did everything he could during Monday's Game 4 loss to the Boston Celtics. He struggled coming into Monday's win-or-go-home contest, but finally figured it out. He finished with 39 points, nine assists, seven rebounds in the four-point loss to Boston. The Nets have been swept, but at least Durant went down with a fight. He should remain an elite fantasy option heading into next season.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant helped lead the team to victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Tuesday's play-in game. He scored 25 points and racked up 11 assists, five rebounds, three blocks and two steals. He shot 9-for-16 from the field and 6-for-6 from the free throw strike in the game. Durant has been consistently racking up some big assists numbers lately. He's now notched double-digits in assists in three of his last four games. The two-time NBA champ will now lead the Nets into what should be an interesting first round series against the No. 2 seed in the East, the Boston Celtics.

Brooklyn Nets power forward Kevin Durant was up to his MVP level of production during Tuesday's win over the Pistons, as he dropped 41 points on just 14-for-23 shooting. Durant finished with at least four triples made for the sixth time this year, as he added 11 rebounds, giving him 13 double-doubles on the season. Even with Kyrie Irving back in a full-time capacity, Durant is a nightly threat to wreck the DFS slate, particularly against exploitable defensive units. Milwaukee may not fall into that category Thursday, but Durant has dropped at least 29 points in all five regular season meetings vs. the reigning NBA champs since he arrived in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Nets power forward Kevin Durant sizzled offensively Monday, leading his team to victory over the Jazz with a 37-point effort. For the second straight outing, Durant was tremendously efficient, shooting 15-for-23 from the field, adding four made triples for good measure. Durant has already logged two triple-doubles this year, as he came just one rebound and two assists shy of another, with fantasy managers reaping the statistical benefits of not having Kyrie Irving in action. The question of rust has been firmly dismissed since Durant's return, as he has averaged 30.8 PPG on 55.1% shooting in his first nine games back.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant finished with 37 points on 15-for-23 shooting during the decisive win over the Jazz. Durant was locked in all night, and he added nine boards and eight assists to narrowly miss out on a triple-double. The 33-year-old is back at full strength since sustaining a knee injury that kept him out for nearly two months. The Nets will next head to Minnesota for a Wednesday night showdown versus the Timberwolves, so Kyrie Irving should be on the court. Of course, Irving's presence could negatively impact Durant's scoring production to some degree. However, the former MVP should continue to be rostered by seasonal and DFS managers, primarily since that game should feature plenty of scoring from both clubs.

Brooklyn Nets power forward Kevin Durant has shown virtually no rust in his return to action, delivering one of the premier offensive games of his career during Sunday's victory over the Knicks. Durant finished with a season-high 53 points on 19-for-37 shooting, marking his highest regular-season scoring total since Jan. 17, 2014, while he was with the Thunder. Playing 43 minutes, Durant also added nine assists, six rebounds, four made threes, and two steals, taking advantage of Kyrie Irving's absence under league policy. In five games since rejoining the mix, Durant has averaged 32 points, seven assists, and 6.6 boards per outing, firmly reestablishing his fantasy dominance.

Brooklyn Nets power forward Kevin Durant suited up in Thursday's defeat to Miami, marking his first game action since Jan. 15 after he sustained a sprained left MCL. Interim coach Jacque Vaughn did not specify a minutes limit for Durant, who wound up playing 35 minutes and used his time on the floor to drop 31 points on 10-for-21 shooting. What was apparent in Durant's first game back was that his offensive rhythm looks not to have missed a beat, but also that he will be the team's unquestioned top scoring threat, especially when Kyrie Irving isn't on the floor. Next up comes a showdown with the Celtics on Sunday, who boast the league's second-best defensive efficiency this season, although Durant -- who has scored at least 24 points in each of his last 20 full games -- has become largely matchup proof.

Brooklyn Nets power forward Kevin Durant (knee) has rejoined the starting lineup for Thursday's contest vs. the Heat, having been out of action since Jan. 15 due to a sprained left MCL. Interim coach Jacque Vaughn disclosed that Durant would not be facing a preset restriction on his minutes, although the layoff is likely to keep many DFS managers from rolling the dice when considering his price tag. With Durant back in the mix, Seth Curry, Cam Thomas, and Patty Mills -- among others -- are set to see a slight reduction in offensive upside. Durant, who is shooting above 50 percent for the ninth consecutive year, went for 25 points and 11 boards against Miami in their most recent matchup back on Oct. 27.

Brooklyn Nets power forward Kevin Durant (knee) is reportedly on track to make his return to action Thursday against the Heat, which would give the franchise a significant jolt from its recent slide. Durant has been sidelined since Jan. 15 due to a sprained left MCL, so fantasy managers will want to temper DFS expectations out of the gate, as the combination of a difficult matchup and a likely minutes limit throws the four-time scoring champs upside in flux. When healthy, Durant has been an elite fantasy producer this season, averaging 29.3 points, 7.4 boards, and 5.8 assists per outing, all while shooting 52 percent overall. James Johnson would figure to see a slight role reduction upon Durant's return, while Seth Curry, Cam Thomas, and Patty Mills would also forgo some of their offensive upside. Fantasy managers will want to check back Thursday to confirm Durant's status.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. It was reported that Durant could possibly play here, but the All-Star forward will sit out at least one more game. In the meantime, Seth Curry and Cam Thomas should have plenty of minutes ahead of them. Bruce Brown is expected to remain a reliable streaming option until Durant gets back on the court. Hopefully, Durant will be able to return after Monday's absence.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) could return to action as early as Monday. He has been sidelined since mid-January due to a left MCL sprain. The All-Star forward has reportedly looked good in practices and appears close to returning. It sounds like the team is going to wait and see how Durant feels before making a final decision. It wouldn't be shocking to see Durant somewhat limited during his first game back. Although, his fantasy value should go through the roof once he returns. The Nets are without Kyrie Irving for home games and Ben Simmons (back) has yet to make his team debut for Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Head coach Steve Nash mentioned that Durant should return within the next three games. It sounds like Durant is closer to getting on the court than newly acquired guard Ben Simmons. Bruce Brown should continue to see an increased role while Durant is off the court. That being said, fantasy managers can continue to ride with Brown until Durant returns.
