Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are both seemingly on their way out of the Brooklyn Nets. The superstar duo isn't on the best terms with the team right now, as they've been linked with moves away from Barclays Center. First, it was Kyrie who fell from grace with the front office after a tumultuous 2021/22 season. 

More recently, Kevin Durant requested a trade from the organization, stirring the pot and leaving fans in shock with his decision. It was believed that the relationship between Durant and Irving was damaged, but KD himself said their friendship goes beyond basketball. 

The 2014 NBA MVP has been spotted working out with other stars like James Harden and Jayson Tatum, sparking rumors of a move to the Philadelphia 76ers or Boston Celtics. Well, in recent hours, he was spotted with Kyrie Irving, making it clear they aren't mad at each other and are ready to go, although it's unlikely they will play for the same team next season.

Besides Irving and Durant, Caris Levert and Victor Oladipo joined the workout. 

It's unlikely that this workout served as a move for Kyrie to convince KD to stay in Brooklyn. They're leaving things to go with the flow and see what happens next. 

The Nets are reportedly waiting to move Kevin Durant to see if they can ship Kyrie somewhere else too, but this isn't 100% clear now. KD has been linked with many teams in the past, but now, it looks like the two-team race between the Sixers and Celtics will define the future of the 2x NBA champion. 

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers are said to be favorites to land Kyrie this offseason, but that move is yet to come to fruition. Anyway, KD and Ky are doing the work, getting ready for a challenging 2022/23 season.
