I would argue that Durant "forcing" a trade right now is largely mutual.  I think the Nets were content to move on, and I suspect Durant sensed that.   I think they are tired of pushing with this group, and who can blame them.

I think there are maybe 8-10 teams in the league where Durant can go and would not be an immediate flight risk, even if he has a few favourite destinations.   I think he just wants a team that is pushing to win, and may have not "given up".

And I don't blame the Nets at all if they have given up and are looking to re-boot.
- Irving has been flaky
- Harden was a disaster
- Simmons has been flaky
- Durant may not have been easy to deal with at time

Not that I feel bad for Nets management either - they put together the team with the many risks associated, and now have to deal with the consequences.

If the Nets are frustrated with the situation and no longer want to push to win with these elements, or believe they can't win with these elements, what is the point of keeping a 34 year old superstar.  Probably the best for all parties to re-boot at this point.
