Windhorst: Kevin Durant 'Headed Towards' Training Camp Holdout amid Nets Trade Rumors

The Brooklyn Nets may be starting to dislike Kevin Durant.

The next step in forcing a trade may be held out of training camp, according to Brian Windhorst.

If you had asked me a week ago, I would have told you not to ask. I could not see it. I'm able to see it now. Windhorst said that they were headed towards that.

The Nets governor was told by the player that he wanted to be traded in June. The organization has been moving at a snail's pace since setting a huge price tag for the 12-time All-Star.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, the team's general manager Sean Marks and coach Steve Nash should be fired if they don't want Kevin to return. In response to the report, Tsai said he has no plans to comply with the demands of the player.

Our front office and coaching staff have my support. We will make decisions in the best interest of the Brooklyn Nets.

Allowing word of such a drastic demand to leak publicly was probably a power play on the part of the player.

Making the situation as toxic as possible is the best way to force a move. One of the biggest plays a player can make is to publicly demand the removal of a general manager.

If the Nets don't make a trade before camp, every player on the team will have to answer questions about whether or not they want the coach to go. The spotlight will be on every interaction between the player and the coach if KD is in the picture. If he holds out, he will be the center of attention.

The situation will be a big deal. It's likely that every member of the upper management wants a harmonious group next season after the mess that was the Brooklyn season.

The man seems determined to make it harder than possible. It may be his best bet to get out of Brooklyn before the season starts.
