Kevin Durant broke his silence with a cryptic message on Twitter Saturday, just days after reports speculated that the NBA star had requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets.
"The ones who were locked in that gym with me know what it is, they know what I’m about," Durant wrote. "If u haven’t been in there with me, ask around."
Durant became the center of NBA free agency attention on Thursday when he reportedly requested a trade from the Nets less than a year after signing a contract extension with the team.

"Do you really want a trade from the Nets? If so, why? Was Kyrie [Irving] a dealbreaker for you? If you do want a trade, do you expect to pick your destination?" Lundberg asked.
But Durant wouldn’t take the bait.
"Keep dreaming robin lmao," Durant responded.
