Kevin Durant endorses Davante Adams’ trade request as Raiders look to deal $140,000,000 All-Pro

NBA superstar Kevin Durant believes Davante Adams is in the right to request a trade. The star receiver requested a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week.

Adams reportedly is focused on winning a Super Bowl as he's in his 11th season in the NFL. The star receiver doesn't believe the Raiders have a chance at winning the Super Bowl which played a role in the trade request.

Although some Raiders fans were disappointed with the trade request, Durant believes Adams is in the right to request a trade as he wants to win.

“I think Davante knows exactly what he’s doing. He demanded a trade so that’s saying a lot. That’s saying everything," Durant said on the Up & Adams Show. "He can just sit back and see what the league says after that. He’s put in so much work already that he don’t need to say much. He don’t need to think about much. He told his organization what he wanted to do in his career and now it’s on them to facilitate it.”

It's reported that the Raiders are looking for a second-round pick, but a first-round pick could very well be the final price for the star receiver.

Adams has recorded 18 receptions for 209 yards and a touchdown this season. Adams won't play in Week 5 due to a hamstring injury.
