“The honeymoon’s over, he’s stuck in a relationship" - Colin Cowherd claims Kevin Durant wants to dissolve relationship with Nets

Kevin Durant requested a trade before free agency started, but is still stuck with the Brooklyn Nets. Several teams have reportedly shown interest in the four-time scoring champion, but none have been able to match the Nets' asking price.

Recent reports suggest that the Nets "are not aggressively" looking for trade partners anymore. Many now believe there is a high chance the two-time NBA champion will remain with the franchise.

On The Herd with Colin Cowherd, NBA analyst Colin Cowherd was joined by former NBA player Cuttino Mobley. They discussed several issues in the league, including Durant's trade saga. Cowherd said he believes Durant wants to leave as soon as possible instead of playing out his four-year contract.

"I think the KD situation is as simple as this. He made a mistake leaving the Warriors, he wasn't totally happy but you know it's good. And in Brooklyn, he just wants out.

"The honeymoon's over, he's stuck in a relationship, he wants to dissolve it, and he doesn't have the personality to demand it."

Cowherd went on to talk about how Durant will not want to stay with the Nets if he is unhappy.

"I think it's hard to go to work for four years unhappy. You may be all to blame."

Kevin Durant joined the Brooklyn Nets in 2019, but has failed to deliver a title

The 2014 NBA MVP could have gone anywhere he wanted as a free agent in 2019, but chose to join Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn. After opting out of his player option worth $31.5 million with Golden State, he signed with the Nets.

KD's time with the Nets has not produced the desired results. Although the All-Star forward has led them to two playoff appearances, he is yet to deliver a championship. They lost to the Milwaukee Bucks in seven games in 2021 while the Boston Celtics swept them in the first round of the 2022 playoffs.

Throughout his first year with the team, he nursed an achilles injury he sustained during the 2019 NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors..

If the Nets do not receive an enticing package for Durant, there is a good chance he will stay in Brooklyn.
