Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant vs the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Playoffs

Former NBA champion Glen Davis has claimed that Kevin Durant planned to join Kyrie Irving in Boston several years ago. The two, however, ultimately decided to head to the Brooklyn Nets.

Durant shocked the NBA world when he requested a trade from the Nets earlier in the offseason. It's not often that a player of Durant's stature is available on the trade market and the Nets have held firm on their reportedly "high" asking price.

There have been plenty of teams reportedly interested in acquiring the superstar forward, including the Boston Celtics. But this isn't the first time Durant has been linked with a move to the Celtics.

On a recent episode of "VladTV," Glen Davis discussed how Durant met with Kyrie Irving and Jayson Tatum in the Bahamas possibly to discuss a move to Boston.

"Just karma. Always going to have bad karma when it comes to the Celtics. I honestly think so because I think he went there with the wrong mindset. Imagine Kyrie on that damn team right now...See Jayson and Jaylen wasn't ready, still young.

"That's why people don't know after KD and them won the championship, I saw Jayson Tatum and Kyrie Irving at a table with KD in the Bahamas. Kyrie was trying to get KD to come to Boston. When Boston didn't work out, 'KD come to Brooklyn.'

"KD was going to go to Boston, I seen with my own eyes in the Bahamas. I'm like, 'Why are y'all sitting at the same table.' I didn't even walk over there. I was like, 'That's crazy. KD was trying to come to Boston..."
