NBA free agency is underway and moving at a rapid pace. Starting Thursday night, teams and players can officially begin negotiating new contracts. However, NBA fans didn’t have to wait that long for some big news. Just hours before free agency opened, Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. The KD request is sending shockwaves around the league, and having one of the best players in basketball on the trading block will dictate how much teams work this offseason.
Zach LaVine and the Bulls agreed to a five-year, $215 million super-max deal to return to Chicago, while Bradley Beal reached a five-year, $251 million super-max deal with the Wizards. James Harden is still available but expected to re-sign with the 76ers.
Additionally, Jaylen Brunson agreed to a four-year, $104 million deal with the New York Knicks. Also, former No. 1 pick Deandre Ayton could leave the Suns this summer. Meanwhile, Hornets forward Miles Bridges is a restricted free agent but was arrested in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
