The Nets aren't moving KD this season, he can gripe all he wants, he'd have to actually sit out to make it happen which would psh them to lose a ton like they were tanking.
What probably happens with Brooklyn is they wait to see if Ben Simmons gets close to how he once was and than move him for a package that will better support KD and Kyrie (a high priced older good player, maybe get a real center in the package). They can try to resign Kyrie for the max to keep KD happy and if Kyrie moves on, then they might be forced to move KD.
There are nearly 0 reasons for Brooklyn to tank with Houston owning swaps with Brooklyn on odd years until 2027 and outright own Brooklyn's 1st round picks on the even years until 2027. If they wanted to tank this was the year where they can expect a high pick even if Houston swapped with them. Brooklyn needs a HUGE haul for KD for it to make sense because if they don't get it and their bad, that FO will take a lot MORE )(#$) from the media and that probably gets everyone fired.
