Could see a championship-swinging trade go down.Meanwhile, Irving, who has made it clear he wants to play with KD, can comfortably search for a new home. There have been reports that he has contacted LeBron James for an opportunity to run it back.Lakers All Day Everyday@LADEigKyrie Irving has had some recent contact with LeBron James to discuss a potential reunion, via @TheSteinLine 9388847Kyrie Irving has had some recent contact with LeBron James to discuss a potential reunion, via @TheSteinLine 👀😳 https://t.co/aK2xVzPzJDKevin Durant failed to lead the Brooklyn Nets to a deep playoff run in two attemptsKevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets drives as Jayson Tatum of the Brooklyn Nets defendsDurant has failed to get past the Eastern Conference semifinals since joining the Nets in 2019. Although he missed the entire 2019-20 season due to an Achilles tendon injury, his attempt to lead the team to glory has failed twice.In 2021, the Nets lost Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals to the Milwaukee Bucks, who went on to become champions. Last season, the Celtics stifled Durant and the Nets, winning four straight to send the Nets home.The All-Star forward is heading into the first year of his four-year contract extension with the Nets. He is expected to stay with the team until 2026, but there is a chance he might not.As a Net, Durant has played 90 games and averaged 28.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game while shooting 52.5%.
