Time is a flat circle.

It is true. big news in the NBA. Man. A lot of real news happening out there.

Time is a flat circle.

It is true.

After weeks, like seven weeks of reports and rumors and speculation and tweets, all the tweets,

Kevin Durant has ended up right back where he started because the Nets announced today that they will not trade Durant,

following a meeting with owner Joe Tsai, his wife, Clara Wu, coach Steve Nash, and general manager Sean Marks in Los Angeles on Monday.

For those that have been living under a rock, Katie requested a trade from the Nets on June 30th. The Nets were like unable to find a deal to meet their asking price. Durant wanted to go to the Sons with a heat, remember? But then he opened up that list and he said, no, I'll go anywhere you can get me. But it became sort of implausible. So the N net statement, I think this is actually really fun to like look at here.

So I'm going to post it for everyone joining us on YouTube.

Here's the net statement.

This is from Sean Mark's quote, Steve Nash and I, together with Joe Sy and Clara Wu-Sai,

met with Kevin Durant and Rich Climmon in Los Angeles yesterday.

So on Monday, we have agreed to move forward with our partnership.

We are focusing on basketball with one collective goal in mind,

build a lasting franchise to bring a championship to Brooklyn, end quote.

TK.

You're already giggling away.

What was your immediate reaction to this big news here today?
