You're listening to the best of the odd couple with Chris Brousso and Rob Parker.

You know, there was a story out basically saying that some anonymous general managers around the NBA were, quote, unquote, livid.

They were livid that Kevin Durant made a ultimatum to the Nets, the Brooklyn Nets,

saying it's me or them,

and basically that he wanted the general manager, Sean Marks,

and he wanted to coach Steve Nash, both canned,

and basically said, hey, Steve Marks, you know, brought those guys in,

did everything they wanted.

They signed off on Steve Nash.

And now basically, you know, they're sticking a knife in both of those guys' backs

and they want what they want.

Otherwise, K.D. doesn't want to be there.

Whenever you feel Vijay, like somebody's strong-arming you and they're hijacking your team

and telling you what to do, even though they don't own it. You know, people, it doesn't feel good.

But the reality is, and you can stop me, but the reality is this is the NBA.

And it's a players league.
