On June 30, Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets following a first-round sweep by the Boston Celtics.

Since Durant is perhaps the biggest NBA star to request a trade, teams flocked to add the 12-time All-Star to their rosters.

Durant, however, rescinded his trade request after months of back and forth between the two parties.

There was a ripple effect throughout the league when Durant wanted out of Brooklyn.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Patrick Beverley was dismayed that the front offices wanted to ensure they had the salary cap available to acquire Durant in potential trades.

A second response from Beverley was warranted after Durant's comments
