If there was one person who you'd expect to be unsurprised by the Brooklyn Nets firing Steve Nash, it would be Kevin Durant But even after Brooklyn's 2-5 start, Durant insists he didn't see Tuesday's news coming
"You're always shocked when a move like this happens. But it's normal in the NBA," Durant told reporters Tuesday night after the Nets' loss to the Chicago Bulls,."It's about getting ready for the game tonight. It's a quick turn always in the league, especially during the season. You've got practice, games coming up, so you can't think too much about it. It was on my mind for a little bit today.
Nets general manager Sean Marks said he didn't consult with any players before firing Nash, and Durant confirmed as much Tuesday, claiming he found out about Nash's exit when he turned on the TV following a pregame nap. The context worth noting here is that Durant reportedly gave Nets owner Joe Tsai an ultimatum over the summer to either honor his trade request or fire Nash and Marks, telling Tsai he"does not have faith in the team’s direction." So after Brooklyn dropped five of its first seven games, it's hard to imagine Durant was blindsided by an event he reportedly wanted to happen a few months ago.
