Kevin Durant is staying put.

The Association's red-hot summer of jack shit continues, with the crown jewel of the off-season, Kevin Durant, appearing to be locked atopBrooklyn's scepter.

The group agreed to move forward with our partnership after meeting with Kevin Durant and his agent, Rich Kleiman.

KD realized that his propensity for provocation, advanced age, and injury concerns were enough to make him a trade partner.

GMs have the right to ask for landscape- altering assets if they want to move one of the best players in the league who is under contract through the 25th century. Marks was going to have a stalemate because his peers wouldn't budge on his asking price. KD doesn't seem like a player who would want to regain leverage or not hoop when he's healthy When a player loses a season to injury and believes that his team has a chance to win a title, he won't resort to antics like Simmons and Harden.

The move was met with joy from Brooklyn's 17 fans and anger from people who like to get mad at anyone.

Patrick Beverly felt that he needed to comment on the news because he sees an avenue to being more relevant than he ever was as a player. I am not sure if Beverly said anything or not, but KD responded with #BLAMEKD.

Users blamed KD for everything from Tua throwing a pick to Desus and Mero never having a show again. The man could find a hater at a support group, and I'm sure there's someone out there blaming him for something.

Irving was not included in the meeting between the team and the Boardroom. It doesn't tell sane people anything they don't already know, but it does hint to Irving that he's delusional. Whatever figment of his imagination he scapegoats for whatever it is he's constantly upset about, Kyrie has experienced more than enough real slights this off-season.

Who knows what Simmons thought about the trade request being withdrawn. He was most likely happy that he didn't have to do anything.

Even though he just wants to hoop, he also seems like a person who would be proud of being an asshole. It will have to settle for the ensuing drama that leaks from that locker room because NBATwitter wanted a brain-melting trade.

The coach, owners, GM, player, and agent sang kumbaya over a bottle of sauv blanc and tuna tartare in Malibu when they were in Brooklyn.

You have a real problem if you are complaining that KD-Kyrie spats don't dilate your eyes anymore. Either #BLAMEKD or something similar.
