🔸 🔸KD’s former teammate Andre Iguodala recently spoke about the Kevin Durant trade saga and he thinks that Durant should stay in Brooklyn.
“I think he should stay in Brooklyn, it’s such a big market, it’s good for the game and just figure out how to make it work like everybody grow up and make it work. That’s how I feel about the situation.”
“This is a situation where it’s either, look, man just come out here and play or don’t play because you got 4 years, we got you for a while so it’s not like you’re on an expiring contract and then you can just take off a year and we just give up a year. Like he’s getting older and time is everything.”
