“#Kevin Durant expects Nets’ Big 3 to make ‘right decision’ on extension<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Kevin Durant is busy aiming for his third Olympic gold in Tokyo. But beginning Monday, he can officially start talking with the Nets about his future in Brooklyn, signing a long-term contract extension.<\/p>\n

Nets general<\/a> manager Sean Marks has every intention of extending all of the Big Three this summer, with free agency officially tipping off Monday at 6 p.m. The question now is, are those three stars \u2013 Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving \u2013 all on the same page about staying in Brooklyn for the long haul? And with all three of them max players and money not the big factor, what goes into the decision?<\/p>\n

\u201c(You) like being in that environment, first of all. You enjoy playing the game<\/a>, that\u2019s the most important thing. I think we all three enjoy playing with each other,\u201d Durant said when asked by the Post<\/a> after Team USA practice on Tuesday morning. \u201cBut that\u2019s a personal thing, and guys are different. I\u2019m sure when the time is right I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll all make the right decision for ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nets go into this upcoming season as the prohibitive favorite to win the NBA title. But can they keep the band together?<\/p>\n

The Big Three can all become free agents after the 2021-22 season. But they can also ink long-term extensions this summer that would keep them in Brooklyn through the 2025-26 campaign.<\/p>\n

Durant \u2013 who\u2019ll lead Team USA vs. Iran at 12:40 a.m. Wednesday \u2013 was asked by the Post what he specifically would look for in making his call.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust being in a great environment and being around teammates that enjoy the game,\u201d said Durant. \u201cKeep growing individually. That\u2019s the most important thing; how we\u2019re growing individually. Definitely how we come together as a team. I enjoy seeing my teammates get better; I enjoy getting better and have an environment that encourages that every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coming off an 18-month layoff for Achilles surgery, Durant actually got better this past season and was nothing short of stellar \u2013 when he played.<\/p>\n
