Pitino, who also coached Mitchell in Louisville, said it would be “special” to see his former ward play in the Big Apple. Before the Durant drama eventually settled, Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens reportedly had a conversation with Jaylen Brown.

With team owner Joe Tsai backing his front office and the coaching staff, Durant saw sense in staying with the Nets. Apparently, the goal is to establish a title-contending team for the duration of KD’s term in Brooklyn. Brian Lewis of The New York Post came out with a report that should delight fans of the Brooklyn Nets:
“Durant and his business partner Rich Kleiman met with the Nets brain trust Monday in Los Angeles.

The minutes of the meeting aren’t available, but a Nets source said this isn’t just an uneasy cease-fire or temporary solution until a Durant deal is found. “They insist he’s re-invested long-term.”

Rick Pitino is convinced Donovan Mitchell wants to play for the New York Knicks Rick Pitino is no stranger to the NBA or Donovan Mitchell. He coached the New York Knicks in the ‘80s and was Louisville’s shot-caller in Mitchell’s college days. Marc Berman of the New York Post has the scoop on Pitino’s wish for both Mitchell and the Knicks:
“Donovan loves the Knicks,’’ Pitino said.

Utah’s Danny Ainge got a treasure trove of assets for Rudy Gobert and will not settle for anything less for the Knicks to get Mitchell.

Brad Stevens confirms open communication between Jaylen Brown and Boston Celtics during the Kevin Durant trade rumors The Boston Celtics were reportedly in pole position to acquire NBA superstar Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets. Jaylen Brown was supposedly the biggest asset the Celtics had offered for KD. Despite all the trade talks, Brown insisted weeks ago that he was committed to playing for the team that drafted him.

Boston Globe’s Christopher Price reported on what went on behind-the-scenes between Brown and Brad Stevens:
“Jaylen’s been through this from the standpoint of listening and the noise has been around him for a long time,” Stevens said. “I think one of the things you have to be able to do is ignore the noise and know what’s important.” “Also, [to] be able to reach out and have candid and transparent communications with the people involved. We’ve had those, and been very open from the get-go as all of this has been going on for any of our guys.”
Chris Forsberg@ChrisForsberg_Brad Stevens on @WEEI today said he sat down with Jaylen Brown in LA last week.

Noted how you have to be able to have "have candid and transparent communications" with players in rumors.(Brad also noted Jaylen didn't ask him to partake in those crazy underwater workouts ) Even without Kevin Durant, the retooled Boston Celtics were already one of the heavy favorites to dethrone the Golden State Warriors. Brad Stevens added Malcolm Brogdon and Danilo Gallinari in free agency, making the Celtics two or three-deep in all positions.

He was part of a star-studded team that embarrassingly failed to even make the playoffs. With KD and the Nets burying the proverbial hatchet, the NBA could see Durant and Anthony playing together. They’ve played together on the US Men’s Olympic team but never as teammates in the pro league.

In Brian Lewis’ report regarding the peaceful resolution to the KD-Joe Tsai standoff, he added news that felt like an afterthought:
“And if they wanted to appease Durant, they could bring in Carmelo Anthony, a move he’s wanted them to make.” Brooklyn Ball@BrooklynBall_If signing 38-year-old Carmelo Anthony appeases Kevin Durant, you do it. But it will be a picture perfect example of why the Nets have failed thus far with their superstars calling and/or signing-off on all the shots.2If signing 38-year-old Carmelo Anthony appeases Kevin Durant, you do it.

Carmelo Anthony has been playing power forward over the last few years as he no longer has the quickness to roam around the perimeter. He’ll be a solid big in the Brooklyn Nets’ rotation, considering they only have Nic Claxton and Day’Ron Sharpe to handle the post.

The Phoenix Suns never offered a package centered on Mikal Bridges for Kevin Durant With the NBA’s biggest offseason drama finally over, the smoke of the standoff is also starting to clear. The Phoenix Suns, who were supposedly the top target KD wanted to play for, were left out of the loop following Deandre Ayton’s massive extension. However, there were persistent reports that the Suns were not giving up, offering Mikal Bridges instead as the major piece in a trade for KD.
