Despite having a great season, the Houston Rocket has been garnering attention for an alleged burner account. Some of the posts made by the account have taken shots at teammates, past and present. Now, Durant is in the headlines again for a drastic decision made at his company, Boardroom.
Kevin Durant’s entire full-time staff at his company, Boardroom, laid off without notice
Phillip Lewis, a editor at HuffPost, reported Saturday morning that, “Boardroom, the sports, media and entertainment brand co-founded by Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman, has eliminated its full time editorial team.”

It was a shocking, ill-timed decision from the company. There were no prior rumors of Boardroom being dismantled. But suddenly, days after its founder is in a social media scandal, the entire staff is cut loose.
Without additional details, the reason behind the move is speculative.

Was Boardroom staff in charge of KD’s social media? Did somebody leak the burner to the public? Or was the decision entirely unrelated?

At minimum it’s a drastic decision but if it’s related to the burner account drama, this conspiracy could go even deeper.
Details are sure to follow but for now, all people can do is speculate on why a prominent company suddenly cut ties with its staff.
