Kevin Durant agreed to stay with the Brooklyn Nets after months of demanding a trade but reports are saying the Nets tricked KD into staying. The way they did it is genius and this is a look behind the scenes at how Brooklyn pulled off their plan.

Lol seriously what GM was sitting there like "hmm, KD jus tried to have his GM fired..."🤔. THATS the guy I WANT to trade everything I have for! 🤦
LOL exactly!!
"I want to be the next Rob Pelinka for some reason... wait no I dont"
I’ve never been a basketball fan but this channel has really created interest in the sport for me in a way I’ve never had before. I’m actually excited to try and follow some games and hear analysis throughout the upcoming season.
Thanks Nate!
@@AMHoops absolutely! You do great work 😁
@@AMHoops what did you mean that Woj stopped espn from reporting that KD wanted his GM and coach fired. they definitely reported that
@@b1bbscraz3y they delayed posting the story for 24 hours until it was impossible to ignore
@@Romanus- so they weren't stopped from reporting it
Love your videos man! Giving credit where credit is due and you take on situations that don't follow the mainstream basketball narrative.
I have a different view. I think KD's ego also let him agree to cancel the trade request. Before the request, he had believed that other teams would break the bank to get him, but teams were only offering weak packages to get him, that must have shocked him...
I think it’s pure insanity that teams wouldn’t move heaven and earth to get him. Idc what anyone says, he is the best player in the league, the fact he is getting better after a TORN ACHILLES injury in his 30s should actually be unthinkable to accomplish if you really think about it
@@chasehansen5397 u watch too much tv
@@samantharay6098 not really. I’m out here doing all kinds of shit for my own personal life every day…point aside, he really is one of basketballs best players and still is. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t dude averaging 30 ppg on 55-45-90 spilts??? That in itself is batshit crazy
You know, since we’re deep in the off-season, a good subject vid might be another deep dive into the Woj situation, but one thing I haven’t seen (not saying it’s not out there, I’m just saying I haven’t seen it) is an explanation or exploration on exactly who and why at the Worldwide Leader gives Woj that much power to make that call to kill or fill a story. I know there’s been a lot of talk about how tied Woj is these guys, but I think fertile ground would be The Who’s and why’s at how Woj just gets to make that call.
Woj has a "source" within the league... I'm pretty sure it's someone in the league office, fairly high up the corporate ladder, where marketing & parity decisions are made; likely have a hand in who goes where & when, which influences betting odds (real money maker)... In short, Woj is a shill for the league to market storylines that temper consumer perception of talent/ competition & minimize losses for the forces that regulate gambling
Yes what do you think lad?
Woj is a loyal Jew.
@@ryantwitter343 lmfao what
@@ryantwitter343 bingo
He didn't want to leave in the first place! It was performed by him to push them to extend Kyrie,slow down free agency and retool the roster,which they did. He fooled y'all.
I believe so the entire time
Kyree was trying to use Kevin to get an extension because the Nets had already told him they were not giving him one because of his unreliability not because of the vaccine, but because of the other attics he's done he has not shown up for less than 50% of the games with his teammates and that is a problem! They wanted him to commit to coming to basketball and he would not! Kyrie wants to play basketball on his terms when he wants to I hope other teams don't give him a long-term contract unless they have the stipulation that he has to show up to work but knowing him he will lie to get the money!
So his plan failed and he fooled us? Lmao wut
This aged so well!
Thanks for the video. I have watched the HeatCheck video. Woj is not a reporter. He's a talking head for certain teams. It's unfortunate. As a Raptors fan, I was disappointed when he said the Raptors were "lurking" in the background in the KD trade scenarios. The NBA is an association of 30 NBA teams competing for a prize. Each team should get fair and unbiased media coverage. As a Raptors fan, we don't get that (and I'm aware that many small market teams don't get that either). Happy to see Woj getting exposed for what he is... a schill.
You should be happy. There was no way they were getting kd without trading away a lot of your young core. That kawhi trade was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Just demar for kawhi, sign me up. But you're going to have to give up a lot more to get kd
@@hotox23-56
I'm not talking about any specifics of the trade itself. I'm talking about the language of "lurking". What are the Raptors organization? A bunch of ped0s?? No. We're a respectable organization that has had the 2nd most amount of wins behind the Warriors since 2013 ("Take that for data!").
Lurking... Woj is a joke. A puppet for other NBA teams. If you're a fan of a small market team Woj and ESPN want your star players away from your team's organization and in one of the bigger markets for viewership. Take that for data!.
@@K81Patel media coverage biased af (coming from pels fan), but “lurking” doesn’t seem to have that negative of a connotation to it. It just sounds like y’all are a dark horse, but that’s just me.
@@lucrussell9363
lurking:
adjective
remaining hidden so as to wait in ambush
Doesn't sound positive
I hope y'all well. Jonas was our guy! Happy for Alvarado (reminds me of our Freddie - undrafted). Herb Jones, Troy, BI, CJ, and hopefully Zion will be healthy (and I know I'm missing some key guys here too). You guys are gonna tear it up this year!! Hopefully ESPN notices!!
@@K81Patel Yeah, I agree that is the definition of lurking. If the raptors finessed KD instead of any big market I dont think it would be a stretch to describe it as an ambush that no one saw coming. Sounds more like yall are on some batman shit and would come out of nowhere.
thanks brother, luck to yall as well!
the music in this video is surprisingly dramatic so I guess it fits KD!
This channel and Heat Check have stepped into actual reporting of NBA industry dynamics. ESPN/Disney exposed itself as over the last season or two as simply a PR partner for the NBA, and has lost all meaningful credibility as a "news" outlet (check out the Woj contract!), and these guys are stepping up to fill the void with a broader view of the whole picture. Great work pulling back the curtain on some really fascinating storylines that are egregiously avoided in the conventional TV and talk radio channels.
The background music really adds a nice touch to the video!
Always solid content bro💯never change up ,great work
Ben Simmons needs to be his solid defensive self. Draymond Green with less touches.
@@mathieubenoitmarcellus Kyrie is the primary ball handler all the time. Ben can post up or move out for a three.
So glad y’all not coaches
@@Lancet711 glad you not a damn coach Ben Simmons move out for a 3 😂 Ben Simmons should be point Kyrie sg KD sf
@@saintnick6329 Maybe you need to learn about the sport. Someone has to pass. Not everyone can hog the ball. Look at what happened when Pippen went to Portland. Look at my Run TMC Warriors. You need scoring, defense, and passing. You remove one element and you don’t win.
@@breezy4169 Ben’s afraid to shoot. His instincts are pass first. Kyrie likes to control the ball unlike a true SG like Klay Thompson. If you can teach Boogie Cousins to shoot 3’s, you can definitely work on it with Ben. Post him up, or have him deep to open the lane for KD.
I love how AM Hoops connects his videos at the end.
i sent you that video in a twitter DM 3 weeks ago i knew this was happening all along
It's all a huge game and KD still holds all of the leverage. If for a second he feels like he got played. He will not show up for training camp. And could legitimately force a trade to any team he wants. All he has to say is I will not play for your organization I will not show up to training camp and I will publicly ask for a trade. No team that's in a position to win can take that chance.
I don’t think kd is like that tho
@@grassy_butt2279 we seen how he reacts just off of social media so if he feels like he's gotten manipulated and played I wouldn't put anything past him.
Great video keep it up
Thanks for giving credit where credit is due. Thank you Ethan.
Skip "I'm not done" Bayless called it! The beauty of broken clocks.
How is Steve Nash a bad coach? He gets all this hate but like the Nets woulda been a disaster with nearly any coach. If KD and Kyrie don’t respect him than that’s on them.
KD decided to sound toxic but he didn't have the stomach or the will to GET TOXIC. Once the Nets figured that out he wasn't going anywhere. All he had to do was threaten to sit out or retire and he was going to be out of there.
As a raptors fan. The nba media being biased ISnt anything surprising
The Nets don't need a new head coach...They need players who don't bring too much drama to the game.
@CH And you must be a fanatic KD/Kyrie underwear sniffer. Aren't you aware that teams are tired of all these drama? That's why I rather watch SpongeBob SquarePants 🤣
Dropping Heat Check😎 Two of my favorite channels 🤑🤘🏻
He’s the best!
@@AMHoops I personally prefer your channel over his becauseyoure way more consistent while similar quality (and not saying that to ass kiss). Keep doing your thing homie🤑✌🏻💨💨💨
I love your channel
We all know Enes Kanter’s big mood at the 4:20 mark 🇨🇳😅
Ben Simmons should be a Point-Center.. run the ball on offense to draw the big man out, then cover the 5 on Defense
Jaylen Brown next video A.M. Hoops 🙏🙏🙏
my boy A.M. Herro LMAOOO
MJ never left the Bulls. He didn't worry about winning a game without Pippen.
Kobe was a fool for fighting with Shaq, and KD was a bigger fool for leaving the Warriors. His legacy is toast. Both of their attempts to "be like Mike" did the exact opposite and cost them rings.
That Celtics package was nice. I probably would have taken that, KD at 34 GIMMIE brown
nice topic
Hey did you know the person you did the podcast with chrisgonzo is my cousin
No takers for aging KD. Nets asking way too much so no NBA teams will bite
I have noticed a pattern with KD, he is only loyal to himself, whenever he doesn't whatever he wants he tries to leave, he will throw anybody under the bus on any team he is on if it gets what he wants,
Shoutout to Radio Ethan!
KD will not be returning to BKN as long as Nash is there, they won’t even win. Put Mark Jackson & watch what happens
Joe Tsai is a petty child. Not letting kyrie play road games b/c he didn't want to inject an experimental drug into his body(wasn't officially a vaccine according to the FDA at the time) is akin to giving someone the silent treatment until you get what you want. It's emotional Bullying and emotional manipulation. He didn't get his way so he's trying to "punish" kyrie by not giving him an extension. Kyrie should play his butt off and then walk in free agency no sign and trade no extra assets for the Nets. Kyrie is an asset and a brand unto himself so is every other NBA player(they also provide for their families). If injecting something could compromise that, then it's prudent to be cautious (see Brandon Goodwin and his blood clots). No Matter how the Nets try to dress it up it was and is subliminal corporate manipulation and Bullying.
They play Simmons like draymond. A true point-center
Ben Simmons can still be an elite playmaker at center.
if the nets stand before steve nash he’ll be able to wield more authority in the locker room, i’d love to see what he could do if he could actually get control of the reins
don’t see him bringing the same flair/instensity as other former player coaches like Riley or Kerr, so i’m doubtful he could ever get full control, but at least now he’s getting a fairer shot
How many seasons has he been there already? He needs to put some pep in his step
What the Nets were asking for was ridiculous. Why would a team want to move multiple first round picks AND a young all-star? The whole point of acquiring Durant is to go all in. Trading away an all-star is not all in.
KD watching this video like… 👀
It’s a good idea to get Simmons to be C. Think Jokic.
They can use Ben Simmons like the Bucks use Giannis. A power forward that make plays.
In the end, they knew KD wasn’t going to sit out. KD isn’t about strip clubs, or, sitting at home on Xbox, or out around town chillin. They know KD only hoops and it’s the most important thing in his life. Guys like Anthony Davis can sit out 30+ games with the pelicans and force the franchises hand. Guys like Harden can sit out, get fat, and render himself useless if he wanted too. Those guys got leverage. KD is all about basketball, they knew if he could play he would so they never got desperate to unload him. It’s not like KD was sitting in a cafe in Paris enjoying life, he was constantly hooping and he can’t keep away from basketball. The gym, the owner, Nash…. They knew he had no hand to bluff so they called his bluff.
Nobody wants any superstar post Achilles tear and on the back end of his career anyway.he’s 15 years or so in.not long left and at any second he could have the big career ending injury for a second time.
Sometimes you have to act like a fool to fool the fool. 😏
What trick? KD is under a 4 year contract and last I checked there is no clause that allows KD to trade himself. The fact that they even tried to trade him KD should be happy about.
I love KD but this was embarrassing 😂
Kd wasn’t gonna leave in the first place he did this to try to get kyrie that extension and slow down the free agency so they could extend the team up
Nets shoulda taken J Brown and company, and deal out Kyrie and Simmons when possible
K.D. Shoes don't sell without noise.
The Celtics also never made JB available that was also part of the lies. One of the Celtics owners called them out and brad stevens and ime
Warriors VS Nets in the 2023 Finals
"Kevin Durant" and "happiness" don't exactly coincide with each other. That dude is always miserable.
KD Happy..... lol 😆 🤣 😂
Bro I would put Ben at the 3 so he can see the floor better
nets have markieff morris to play center to
Nice.
Interesting vid! Loved it until the Steve Nash bashing (in relation to his coaching abilities). Of course KD and Kyrie think they're the boss. Kyrie saw LeBron subvert his coaches (always has) and KD spent all of his time at OKC with "whatever KD and Russ" want coaches. Steve Nash knows basketball at a level that is elite even for nba all stars. He's good at public communications and he's PC (for what that's worth). I do like the take that the Nets could win a title. Simmons and Claxton could be good at center. Simmons won't need to spend all of his time there, and centers can/do have a lot to do with team offense in some scenarios. Having Joe Harris back and the whole team being there from beginning to end will be huge. Still, I'm not picking them to win the whole thing either, it will be competitive, at least until some major injuries have their say in that.
The Nets roster is really good but it's definitely not gonna be an easy job cause personally I would want Simmons being the main facilitator but how does Kyrie react to that 🤔 not good I would think. So somehow the coach has to convince them to run an offense without a primary initiator so that Simmons can get as many possessions starting with the ball to make the game easier for everyone else especially all the guys that aren't Kyrie and KD. Needs to be done in a way so Kyrie and Kd still get plenty of touches and feel like they can still get the ball when they really want but idk if Kyrie will be happy regardless if they tell him Ben is the point guard. Nash will probably just fold and end up having Simmons be just the defensive stopper and Kyrie run point even though Ben has way better vision and passing than Kyrie and Nash knows it. I wouldn't want him being the starting center either cause I'd have Claxton or whoever to guard the big men so Ben will be free to guard whoever the best scorer is, have Ben at the pf in name only and KD at the 3 but KD could always guard the other teams 4 or 3 depending who they'd need Ben to guard each night.
Basically Nash needs to convince them all that their positions don't matter and they'll be playing positionless as a team so Ben can be utilized to his highest potential on both sides of the ball. If Simmons can be unlocked and get his confidence back and Kyrie decides he actually wants to play every game or try to they'll be extremely dangerous. I'm a Knicks fan though so really I hope they crash and burn but I think Simmons can be one of the greatest players ever so itd be cool to see him fulfill his potential as a Magic Johnson like facilitator who defends like Rodman mixed with Kawhi. Kyrie and KD are already two of the best scorers ever so as long as there healthy they'll do their thing.
Wow never knew this

The nets were never going to trade him
Ethan Strauss “YT mvp”
I'm not liking the Nash disrespect 😠
Not as a player tho!
I m sorry but I don't think u can win with 3 divas as ur best player
They need a new coach gm and more
Who is your inside Nets source to say that they intentionally played KD? Outside sources are just speculations based on beliefs in their head. Yo. The GMs outside feel that way? Maybe because Nets felt their offers were not equal to KD value meaning they would be worse off after the trade which is likely true. So from what I see they kept it out there waiting for the best offer and when it got close to the start of the preseason they basically said “we need to move on” so they can make other roster moves and set up a meeting with KD. KD came and listened and agreed to satay at least for this year. Nets knew he was not going to sit at turning 34 on a 4 year deal that just started. Simmons also will be smart to just play and now as you said he doesn’t need to shoot threes he can just be what made him great.
The Celtics had the best deal honestly I would've gave kd up in a heartbeat lol
That’s stupid why give kd up for jaylen and white that’s not a good trade
@@grassy_butt2279 I would jaylen brown will be here for 10 more years and very productive and Derrick white was also a great role player and first round pick which might not be anything because how good the Celtics are
a pissing match between a billionaire and millionaire never turns out well for the millionaire.
I'm a Nets fan. Sean marks was brilliant like a mad 2K GM. You don't leave till I tell you to go. I'll sabotage the whole damn trade market. Kings Ransom nothing less. KD is too important. My team paid a year while his ACL was on Medicare. FOH😅🖕🏼
Durant, reality check hurts huh😂
heavy conspiracies in this one.
Talk on it playa
Dont judge KD. He just likes to be in a miserable place even if he has already the best team mate(Curry) he could have.
KD ready for that Lana Child support
KD officially miserable in bk. We said it before but now. It’s definitely official 🫠
i think if KD saw this, he will be mad
In the summer of 2007, when Kobe Bryant asked to be traded, the Lakers refused. Kobe went on to win two more rings with the Lakers.😂
the brooklyn mayor ruined this big 3 franchise.
bruh man, i'm sorry but if you really think KD is happy in Brooklyn, you're absolutely SADLY MISTAKEN
Let that soft nigga take matter in his own hands instead of running to superteams
Toxic thats why
Kevin Durant is staying in Brooklyn for his whole career
Was that Rihanna?
KD played himself...
KD will never be happy, a bus rider will never be happy.
I'm sorry bro but if you think KD is happy you're sadly mistaken
We'll see what happens though
How do you know he isn't happy? 🤔
Kevin Durant wasn't happy in OKC and he wasn't happy in Golden state, where he was winning with the best teammate anybody could ever have! if he was not happy there he certainly isn't going to be happy in that despicable fire dumpster that is the Brooklyn Nets! he was betrayed by Kyrie his boy and they have turned the Nets into a disaster! So now he's not happy !he's miserable! 😤
Why df u debating and determining how another man feels bro chill
Kevin Durant is that you? LOL
KD ruined his own career he chose to control everything if it wasnt for the max kd was gonna leave
Nothing about his career is ruined 2 Chips a mvp multiple scoring titles some all star games etc. nothing ruined
@@saintnick6329 lol true, dude has made millions and has championships. Not bad at all 😂😂
"Ruining his career?!" The only player in NBA history who will finish with more career earnings than Kevin Durant is LeBron James. Durant also has two rings, a league MVP, and if Ben Simmons just plays the way the way he usually does, KD has a Big Three for the third year in a row in Brooklyn.
Don't forget they still have two of the best perimeter shooters in the league with Joe Harris and Seth Curry. The Nets didn't fcuk around in the off-season, either, signing Royce O'Neal and T.J. Warren.
Yeah, I'd say KD's career is going great. 💁🏻♂️🏀🏆
@@saintnick6329 but his image is ruined
KD was controlling nothing!
Kevin Durant wanted to go to New York Knicks Kyrie wanted to go to Brooklyn Kevin Durant followed Kyrie then Kyrie quit on him.
The reason why KD wants the general manager and the coach fired is because if Kyrie and Ben Simmons are not going to play he needs a roster built around him not a scoring point guard and he needs a coach who can compete because he has no talent if Ben Simmons and Kyrie don't play...
Kevin Durant is trapped from not taking control of his situation and following other people
Kobe Bryant demanded a trade exactly 15 years ago in the summer of 2007 and the Lakers didn’t trade him and Kobe ended up winning 2 more rings with the Lakers.
fax history might repeat
Yeah…but….that’s Kobe. KD won’t win another chip.
He ain't Kobe though. Bruh.
KD going about things all wrong
@@tuneunleashed watch me
@@tuneunleashed yeah but he said when a superstar in the last 15 years demanded a trade, they would get it but not Durant?? Like Kobe also demanded a trade but he also wasn’t traded.
The owners should push for one 5-year max contract per team and two 3-year max contract per team on their roster at the most.
Yea some of these players are wayy too stuck up and spoilt
Ultimately its the players who know the cards are in their hands, because there are leagues ready to snatch up the most elite talent if the bag isn't looking right
Players are gonna treat everything as a business move just as team have treated them like assets
Ownership should push for pay tiers. Only champions and MVPs should qualify for supermax and max and only players who have played in the conference finals should qualify for max. Incentives should be in all contracts for dpoy, scoring title etc.
@@andremiller1566 I 100% agree. In no universe should Bradley Beal get paid more than Lebron, that’s a horrible market place
Ben can play the "Draymond Green Role" in Brooklyn. He can still make plays and play defense without the pressure to score.
He doesn’t play
He can't play his role let alone Dramonts role!😱
The way this guy talks about nba players gets more condescending by the video
I actually agree with your assessment and now perhaps you can understand why the players show no loyalty to a franchise because it is business. So when a player acts in his own best interest owners really have no beef. Players can contribute to the success of a team but then have to leave that team because of salary caps. Payton Jr. Is a good example. Last year the Lakers would not be able to pay Caruso so he ended up in Chicago. The next agreement is not going to be signed right away because the owners will be trying to strip away any leverage the players might have.
Just finished watching the entire video… it was AWESOME. I really appreciate your getting behind the stories that we are being fed by the established sports media. It feels good to know a little bit more about what’s really going on.
KD never was serious about leaving, y’all must be slow
Stuff like this is what leads to what happened with Kawhi in SA. Next video is going to be KD willing to sit out 4 years until Nets trade him.
With the position less basketball nowadays
Ben simons can run some offense but on defense guard the other teams center
at the end of the game and especially when it is close
he need to have kyrie and Kd run the offense and he needs to be the center and give them second chances
The nets need to play Simmons at point and kyrie at shooting
Ben is going to be at the 5 when he's fully healthy, well more time then none.
As soon as Ben fully recovers from back surgery. That could be quite awhile…..
No we need someone at the 5
@@grassy_butt2279 until that happens, him and Claxton will run the 5. It just what it is.
@@marcusgarvey6231 his back isn’t hurt. He’s literally scared to play basketball for millions of dollars. Soft as Kleenex
Have Ben play a paint only Jokic-ish role
Exactly, when he said they would lose all of his playmaking at center, I was like, what about Jokic?
This guy is the best, He gives you every single drop of information and never hides any, I can tell he is a real NBA fan unlike some other NBA youtubers, and he just has the voice of a reporter which makes in 10 times better, I promise NBA youtube doesn't get better than this
