"I tried, but time ran out," Durant, who is back in New York to face the Knicks with Phoenix, said at Suns practice. "I wasn't going to miss no games because of this whole thing, so once the season rolled around, I was just like whatever happens, it happens."
Durant originally requested a trade out of Brooklyn in 2022, with Yahoo's Chris Haynes reporting that September the Suns were his preferred landing spot.
The Durant trade came days after the Nets sent fellow superstar Kyrie Irving to Dallas, ending a tumultuous era of Brooklyn basketball in which the big-name duo only won one playoff series in three-and-a-half seasons.
