'It's crazy. It's crazy … there would never be although Luka Doncic was changed at this age, mid -season, “Durant said after the game.
'The NBA is a wild place, man. If it can be exchanged, then someone is at stake. For fans, for someone who shows, it's quite fun.
“However, I know that it is a bit stressful, probably for Luka, all in Dallas, La, Ad … for all those involved, I am sure that their heads are turning at this time.
Durant was asked if this agreement stressed how the “transactional” relationship is the relationship between players and NBA organizations.
“Players have a different standard of loyalty, commitment to a program, but organizations do not have that same standard in the outside world,” he said.
'We should all be subject to that same standard. It is a transactional game, there is a lot of money involved. We should not be too surprised by the trades.
'It's crazy. It's crazy … NBA is a wild place, man, '' Durant said after Saturday's game
'It is a fairly wild moment in the NBA, especially in the deadline for exchange. I know everyone will be watching their phone during the next week.
Durant speculated that this agreement could give other teams more 'courage' to make great exchanges.
“(Yes) you start seeing things like that, as an organization, you may get a little more courage to do some things when you see another team exchange someone like that,” he added.
'This has to be the biggest trade I have seen since I have been in the league or since I have been watching the sport, this is madness. So, yes, any other team could have the confidence to say: 'I will change my best players, some of my best players, fucked, if this does not work … I'm still surprised.'
