Kevin Durant: Kyrie Irving showed a lot of courage by asking for a trade
"He did what he was supposed to do in Cleveland. It's on to the next chapter," Durant said of Kyrie Irving
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant shared his thoughts regarding Kyrie Irving's trade request now that the All-Star guard has been traded to the Boston Celtics.
"He did what he was supposed to do in Cleveland. It's on to the next chapter," Durant said of Irving on The Bill Simmons Podcast. "I can really appreciate what he did. He stood up for himself. He showed a lot of courage, because it's hard to take that type of criticism when you just want to play ball."
"When you're around LeBron James, there's so much that comes with that," Durant said. "There's so much outside distraction and conversations and just noise that comes from being around LeBron James. And Kyrie's at the point like, 'Alright, we lost the championship, this whole season's gonna be about if LeBron's gonna leave or not. I'm ready for a new challenge.'
