"Are you now using your brother to send messages for you?" - Skip Bayless taunts Kevin Durant, alleges he asked his brother to speak on his behalf
Kevin Durant's request to be traded by the Brooklyn Nets drew an interesting response from Skip Bayless. In a recent tweet, he stated that the franchise should hold onto Durant for the four years left on his contract.
Kevin Durant's brother was quick to respond to Bayless, telling him to "go to hell." Bayless, in response, asked if Durant had employed his brother to message on his behalf.
"Hey, @KDTrey5, are you now using your brother to send messages for you? I said if I'm the Nets, I hold you to the FOUR YEARS left on your contract. Your brother responded hell with that and hell with me. That how you feel? Hell with FOUR MORE YEARS of the contract you signed?"

Will Kevin Durant end up staying with the Brooklyn Nets?
Kevin Durant is one of the best players in the NBA and has a very diverse skill set. He, along with Kyrie Irving and James Harden, were expected to bring the championship to the city of Brooklyn. However, things have not gone as planned.
KD.
12x NBA All-Star, 4x Scoring Champ, 2x NBA Champ, 2013-14 MVP, 2x NBA Finals MVP and 75th Anniversary Team member... Kevin Durant! #NBA75 https://t.co/phX4mdd3Br
First it was James Harden who left the Nets and now Durant and Irving are seeking a move away. The Nets would love to keep the duo as they are two of the best offensive players in the league.
However, Durant seems to have had enough of all the drama surrounding the team.

There were questions regarding why he asked for a trade just days after Kyrie Irving opted into his contract.
According to reports, the team is waiting on the right offer to be made for him. So far nothing big has come up.
If the former MVP decides to stay with the Nets, they will have a great chance to win the championship. Ben Simmons and Joe Harris are set to return from injury, which is a further boost.
"Maybe at some point the Nets come to Kevin Durant with a trade. ... And he looks at it and says 'maybe i'd ... rather stay here.'”
