Steve Nash: Relationship with Kevin Durant 'fine', never thought he 100 percent wanted me fired
Nick Friedell: Steve Nash says his relationship with Kevin Durant is fine. “I never thought that was 100 percent,” Nash said of KD wanting him fired. “There’s a lot of things — it’s not black and white like that. It was a lot of factors. A lot of things behind the scenes.”

Markieff Morris is a funny dude. He compared the Steve Nash-KD dramafest to breaking up with a girlfriend and getting back together. “Broke up with my wife a couple of times. We still married.” pic.twitter.com/ACsHxqqFUu – 2:12 PM

Markieff Morris agreed w/ KD’s assertion that the #Nets didn’t earn foes’ respect with any toughness last year: “I agree with what he said. They was soft. Just point blank period. When we played up against them, they was soft. Just go right up in their chest. That’s what we did.” – 1:45 PM

Markieff Morris on KD rescinding his trade request: “Like breaking up with a girlfriend and you get back with her. Same sh1t. Same differences until you figure it out.” Can it work? “Yeah. I broke up with my wife a couple times; we still married.” #Nets #NBA – 1:39 PM

Steve Nash: “Knowing Kevin as long as I have it didn’t really bother me the way everyone would think. That’s a part of being competitors. I wasn’t overly surprised and I wasn’t even overly concerned. This something I thought we would address in time. We did & here we are.” #nets – 1:29 PM

Asked about coaching Kevin Durant after he called for his job, Steve Nash said “we’re fine.” Never got caught up in the ultimatum and said it’s not black and white like that. Said reports didn’t tell the whole story. – 1:16 PM

Durant, Irving and Simmons are all still in Brooklyn, which means the Nets will again be spectacularly compelling — one way or another.

How can the Nets align after Kevin Durant demanded a trade, then asked that his coach & GM be fired? Or after Kyrie Irving’s failed contract talks? But, they were all in Brooklyn on Monday. From a surreal, even for the NBA, media day, in @TheAthletic: bit.ly/3BRGwFA – 9:10 AM

Why did Kevin Durant request a trade?
KD: “A lot of uncertainty (last yr), which built some doubt in my mind about the next 4 years in my career. I’m getting older & I want to be in a place that’s stable & trying to build a championship culture. So I had some doubts about that.” – 3:17 PM
