The

Ultimatum is the nothing personal word of the day for Tuesday, August 9th, 2022

Ultimatum, we all use that word, but let's get the exact definition so we can put this in perspective

And ultimatum is a final demand or statement of terms

A final demand or statement of terms, the rejection of which will result in retaliation or a breakdown in relations

Kevin Durant issued an ultimatum to the owner of the Brooklyn nets in a recent meeting in London between the two men

We've heard and talked about Joseph Sy, plenty of the owner of the nets, we've heard and talked about Kevin Durant, the petulant child in year one of a $198 million for a year contract

It hasn't even started yet and Kevin Durant went in and demanded a trade, go back to previous episodes, nothing personal, and I gave you my opinion of a player walking in and demanding trade, horse hockey

Get back to the dugout, get into the clubhouse, put on your uniform and your jock strap and go win a game

Kevin Durant tripled down

Matt with Joseph Sy in London and said, listen, I've got a plan

That's how this meeting goes, if I'm Joe and I get a call from Kevin saying, hey, I want to meet

That's fine, go full dance, Snyder, you want to subpoena me, meet me, you better come onto my yacht, come to where I am

I'll let you know when I'm free, I'll be in London and you can meet me for 12 minutes in the lobby bar of the Bristol

Kevin Durant walks in, sits with Joe, talks about his situation, wonders why hasn't been traded yet and says to him, you know, either trade me because my trade demand stands

Or I have an alternative, and Joe said, this is great, what? Do you want to maybe change the uniform? Do you want a different set of cheerleaders?

Are you hoping for a different road hotel when we play the Lakers or the Warriors? I'm happy to talk about any of that

Oh, you want different food on the team playing, interesting, I like it, you want to leave before a city, a day, early, a day late

All the different things would travel that players care about and talk to us about

Different things in the clubhouse to want a hyperbaric chamber, all the other crap, all right, I'm ready to listen, what else, what, what do you got Kevin?

All right, Joe, here it is, either you trade me or you get rid of the coach in the GM

In my entire career and you know how long it was, 18 freaking years
