From an ESPN article on Kevin Durant’s situation:
At the February trade deadline, the Suns talked to a handful of teams about Durant without his knowledge. When he found out, just as the Suns and Warriors were nearing coming to terms, Durant blew up the talks. There was some disagreement within the team, sources said, about how that process was handled. It was one of the reasons new general manager Brian Gregory and Ishbia have repeatedly, ad nauseum, emphasized the promise of "alignment" in various news conferences since the end of the season.
Sure glad Nico didn’t handle the AD deal that way!
