After being traded to the Phoenix Suns, Durant recently participated in a press conference where he finally spoke out about the Irving trade.

Kevin Durant got emotional after the Kyrie Irving trade:

During his first press conference, Kevin Durant talked about leaving the Nets’ organization. He stated the following about Kyrie Irving:

“Yeah, I was upset that we couldn’t finish…We were finally building the culture that we always wanted. I felt like every game we were building our chemistry.”

The two-time NBA Champion added that Irving didn’t warn him before making a crucial choice.

KD continued by describing how his influence affected Uncle Drew’s trade. And he said, “He’s a Hall of Fame player…and we relied on that. So without him, we didn’t have a clear identity. So that was tough for me to stomach.”

James Harden, a former Nets star, recently made a statement that offered a different perspective on the stars’ departure.
