NBA free agency is underway and moving at a rapid pace. As of Thursday afternoon, teams and players could officially begin negotiating new contracts. However, NBA fans didn’t have to wait that long for some major news. A few hours before free agency opened, Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. KD’s request is surprising around the league, and having one of the best players in basketball on the trading block will dictate how many teams work this offseason. Zach LaVine and the Bulls agreed to a five-year, $215 million supermax deal to return to Chicago, while Bradley Beal inked a five-year, $251 million supermax deal with the Wizards. James Harden is still available, but is expected to re-sign with the 76ers. Meanwhile, Jalen Brunson has reportedly agreed to a four-year, $104 million contract with the New York Knicks. Also, former No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton could be off the Suns this summer. Hornets forward Miles Bridges, meanwhile, is a restricted free agent but was arrested in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
