凯文·杜兰特相信布鲁克林篮网队可以在他和凯里·欧文身边继续发挥作用。“是的，”杜兰特说。“我不能仅仅因为我们经历了一些逆境，一些路上的坎坷，就认为我们没有成功。我们一直战斗直到我们不能再战斗。我就是这么看的。无论是作为团队还是个人，每天来这里工作都是令人兴奋的。对我来说，作为一名领袖，看到联盟中年轻球员的发展是件好事。每场比赛对我们来说都很重要。因为我们掌握的时机，我们受到了关注。有很多事情要做，我们必须站出来，扮演一个不同的角色，所以我对此很兴奋。我喜欢篮球的一切。似乎不管有什么东西扔给我们，我们都在努力锻炼，努力想明白并克服它。”
杜兰特还被问及是什么让他在交易请求后想留下来，以及他是否仍然想留在球队。
“我就是喜欢这里的人。去年我们经历了一个艰难的季节。很多起起落落。我觉得我在推动一项交易，或者说出我对这个组织的感觉，我们双方都能够进行一些诚实的对话。所以，我认为这就是我们所需要的，我们能够向前迈进。所以，这是关于研磨。我在这里承诺。我在这里签名。所以，这是关于研磨，看看它带我们去哪里。”杜兰特还说他的心态很好。
“我难以置信。热爱现在的生活。我不认为这个世界明白这一点。也许我需要更多的麦克风，”杜兰特告诉马克·j·斯皮尔斯。“也许我需要有更多关于我的软文。图片里多笑笑。也许人们会理解我的生活并不悲惨。就像查尔斯说的我是悲惨先生。我想是因为我对镜头不够了解。但我做得很好，伙计。”

Kevin Durant Still Believes Nets Can Make It Work
原文：
Kevin Durant believes the Brooklyn Nets can make it work still around him and Kyrie Irving.
"Yeah," said Durant. "I can't think s- ain't working out just because we've been through some adversity, some bumps on the road. We just keep fighting until we can't no more. That's how I look at it. It's exciting to come in every day to work to get better as a team and as an individual. For me, being a leader, it's good to see the development of the younger guys in the league. Each game is important for us. There's a spotlight on us because of the timing we've got. There is a lot to do, is we've just got to step up and play a different role, so I'm excited about that. Everything basketball I enjoy. It seems like regardless of what is being thrown at us trying to exercise, trying to figure it out and get past it."
Durant was also asked what made him want to stay after his trade request and whether he still wants to remain with the franchise.
"I just love the people in here. We had a rough season last year. A lot of ups and downs. I felt like me pressing a trade or telling how I felt about the organization, we were able to have some honest conversations on both sides. So, I think that was what we needed, and we were able to move forward. So, it was about grinding. I committed here. I signed here. So, it's about grinding, seeing where it takes us."
Durant also said he's in a good place with his mindset.
"I'm incredible. Loving life right now. I don't think the world understands that. Maybe I need to get miked up more," Durant told Marc J. Spears of Andscape at Golden 1 Center. "Maybe I need to have more fluff pieces written about me. Smile more in pictures. Maybe people might understand that I ain't miserable in life. Like Charles said I'm Mr. Miserable. I guess because I don't enough for the cameras. But I'm doing incredible, man."
