Zach Lowe predicts Kevin Durant to be a target for all NBA teams willing to acquire him: “December 15th and especially January 15th a whole slew of players become tradable”

Rumors have started to fly regarding Kevin Durant's future with the Brooklyn Nets. NBA analyst Zach Lowe believes several teams are ready to re-engage with KD.

Although the Nets are starting to find their rhythm, they have lost five of their first six games this campaign. Such a poor record led to the firing of head coach Steve Nash.

Coming into the season, there were mixed feelings about how the Nets would function. Despite their decision to forge ahead given their differences, many believed the resolution would not last.

On "The Lowe Post podcast," Lowe spoke about how it will be an interesting time come January 15. He believes teams are putting together packages for KD.

"I would guess Durant doesn't want to just go out and do the trade request again because this is just all so ugly. I would guess that he sort of sits in the background, at least in this regard. The Nets also know December 15th and especially January 15th, a whole slew of players become tradable that are critical here.

"So, I don't think this is going to be fast, I don't know that it will ever really happen. But, I know that the whole league is ready now to re-engage on Durant. And like I said, I think the landscape has changed."

Kevin Durant requested a trade during the offseason

One of the biggest surprises of the offseason was Kevin Durant requesting a trade. It was doubly shocking because his request came days after his buddy, Kyrie Irving, opted to stay with the Nets.

Weeks after the Nets failed to secure a deal, KD had a meeting with Nets owner Joe Tsai. Durant was determined to force his way out, and demanded the owner had to choose between him and Nash and general manager Sean Marks.

When the Nets and Durant announced that they will be moving forward, many anticipated it was temporary. ESPN's Brian Windhorst stressed how much KD wanted out of the marriage.

However, it is worth noting that things might be different for Durant now. The two-time NBA champ is slowly getting his wish, with one of the two people he wanted gone out of the organization.

Kevin Durant has led the Nets to two consecutive victories without Nash

Since Nash's departure, the Nets have started to get back in their groove. Jacque Vaughn stepped in as interim head coach and has led them to two victories in three outings.

Durant has been the hero in all three outings, registering game-high points. With Irving and Ben Simmons unavailable, KD has willed the Nets to victories with the help of Cam Thomas.

Irving is serving a suspension that will last for at least 5 games for his recent activities on Twitter. The Nets have outlined six items the former NBA champ must meet before he is allowed back on the court.

Simmons, on the other hand, is sidelined due to a knee injury. Nonetheless, Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Simmons has been a source of frustration for KD and might be traded for a perimeter shooter.
