Stormy in Brooklyn.
According to reports tonight (Thursday) in the US, Kevin Durant is demanding to leave Brooklyn and even wants to trade in the next window.
The Nets star, who was already reported this week to be considering his future in the Nets, came to the dramatic decision following New York's big failure season, which ended with a painful sweep to Boston in the NBA playoffs.
In addition, Phoenix and Miami are considered among the two teams Durant would like to reach, but the Nets plan to send the star to the team from which they will get the best deal.
Meanwhile, since Kyrie Irving agreed to his player option for next season last Monday, Durant and Irving have had no contact with the team and there has been a feeling that Durant's request is inevitable, ESPN reported.

It is also reported that Brooklyn is now considering trading the entire roster, and while Durant - one of the most valuable players in the market today - leaves, the Nets will look to bring them a star battery and a draft pick.
As the Nets prepare to move one of the most valuable trade assets ever on the market, the entire roster will be available to discuss in deals, sources tell ESPN.
Teams have been calling on Durant, and the Nets will certainly look for a historic return on players and draft picks.
