Consequently, it has all led to this.
Here was the latest chatter on the situation as of Tuesday afternoon. For now, it seems to be over.
Per the Brooklyn Nets, they are “focusing on basketball, with one collective goal in mind”. Here is the full statement from the organization’s official social media page, supplemented by a layman’s terms analysis from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

With “for now” being the key phrase uttered a little bit ago, a momentary sense of conclusion does provide a breath of fresh air and for most—a sense of clarity.
That should be exactly the case for the Miami Heat. It also illustrates why the end of this saga, one way or another, was the best thing for the Miami Heat.
Being held hostage by the rumors and chances of landing Durant, you can’t blame the Heat for stalling on other things to ensure that they were able to take a swing on KD had they gotten the proverbial pitch they wanted.
