As recently reported by Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, there have been NBA stars who tried to pursue Durant but their efforts came in vain.

"I will say this about Kevin Durant. Since he's requested a trade, there have been numerous stars that I've spoken to, numerous stars that have been trying to get in touch with him, to pick his brain and see if he would consider other avenues," Haynes said.

"KD has gone dark. He's not talking to anybody. Not answering anybody's phone calls, not responding to texts," an NBA insider added. "The only time you see him get out in the sunlight is when he responds on Twitter. Guess he's hoping this process plays out the way he wants. He's pretty much not speaking with anybody right now aside from his inner circle."

Durant belongs to the Brooklyn team since 2019. The 33-year-old forward still has a 4-year $192.4 million contract, which runs after the 2025-26 season.

Kevin Durant averaged 29.9 points per game on 52/38/91 shooting splits along with 7.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists last season.

He is the two-time NBA champ, 2014 regular-season MVP, two-time Finals MVP, and four-time scoring champ.
