Kevin Durant once again became the butt of jokes on NBA Twitter after responding to a tweet that called him and Kyrie Irving out over their decisions this offseason.

Durant signed a four-year extension last summer, but asked to be traded this offseason. He eventually had to stay in Brooklyn as the franchise failed to find a viable trade partner. Irving also pushed for a move away from Brooklyn, but ended up opting into his contract.

One Twitter account posed the question of how Durant and Irving's "shenanigans" would impact future Collective Bargaining Agreements. Durant was quick to respond.

"#blamekd and #kyrie," he wrote.

Fans on Twitter were quick to react to Durant's sarcastic response. One fan wrote:

"My brother yall are making $75 million to deny the vaccine request trades and get swept in the first round I don’t think they’re going to blame Nic Claxton."

Another added:

"KD love the hate more than the love he gets."

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have the perfect opportunity to silence their critics in the upcoming season

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are probably two of the most criticized players in the NBA right now. Durant has always been called out for his lack of success outside Golden State, while Irving's motivation has been questioned.

The upcoming NBA season presents a great opportunity for the Brooklyn Nets superstar duo to silence their critics. Durant and Kyrie were expected to lead the Nets to at least a championship over the past two seasons.

However, injuries and off-court issues hampered their chances of postseason success.

Several of those concerns could be put to bed ahead of the new campaign. Kyrie Irving will be available from opening night, while Ben Simmons will make his debut for the franchise after missing the entire 2021-22 season.

Joe Harris is also set to return. Brooklyn has added veteran players like Royce O'Neale and TJ Warren to their roster, creating a better balance. Seth Curry, Patty Mills, Nicolas Claxton and Cam Thomas are also on the roster and capable of making an impact.

If Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant manage to stay healthy and perform as expected, the Nets could challenge the top teams in the Eastern Conference.
