Now that Kevin Durant has rescinded his trade request and that all-encompassing melodrama has been put to bed — at least, the Nets hope it has — there are still plenty of questions to be answered.

Q: So hang on: Durant wanted Nash/Marks fired. So, what happened? And is everything really OK now, or is this an uneasy truce?

A: There is real peace. At least that’s what they’re claiming.

“We want to build a lasting franchise,” a highly placed Nets source told the Post, “so this is not just about this year.”

Durant and his business partner Rich Kleiman met with the Nets braintrust Monday in Los Angeles. The minutes of the meeting aren’t available, but a Nets source said this isn’t just an uneasy cease-fire or temporary solution until a Durant deal is found. They insist he’s re-invested long-term.

Q: How does the team look now as a contender? Where do the Nets rank in the East?

A: Right near the top — at least according to Las Vegas. They’re behind only the Celtics — who swept them out of the first round of the playoffs — and the Bucks, who beat them in the 2021 Eastern Conference semis en route to their title.

The Nets’ odds to win the NBA championship halved from 18/1 to 9/1 after the news broke that Durant will stay put, per Caesars Sportsbook. Those odds move the Nets ahead of the Lakers for the fourth-best to win the title, behind the favored Celtics (+450), the defending-champion Warriors (+650), and the Suns (+800), Clippers (+800) and Bucks (+800).

For perspective, the Nets are +700 to win it all at BetMGM, the same price they opened at in mid-June. They’d been +1600 on Monday, and had been +4000 earlier this summer when the hysteria over Durant’s trade demand had reached a fever pitch.

Q: What happens if the Nets start the season … and Durant is still miserable … and he says he wants out again?

A: The easy answer is to say they’re all right back to square one, but it’s not that simple. This process has been ugly at times, but it’s made it abundantly clear what the market is for Durant and how near-impossible it will be to get a deal done. Both sides are believed to have to come through it with an understanding that — whatever differences remain — right now they are each other’s best option.

Q: Does Durant returning make Steve Nash safer (because Nets owner Joe Tsai backed him) or does it put him on shakier ground (because now he has to coach star players who he knows don’t want him as their coach)?

A: Nash just has to worry about doing his job. If Durant wanting him fired didn’t sway Tsai, then it’s hard to believe a repeat request or Kyrie Irving gripe will have a different outcome. Tsai didn’t get to be a billionaire by being a pushover, as Durant discovered.

More to the point, Nash was outcoached by former assistant Ime Udoka in last season’s sweep at the hands of Boston, and could miss hardworking former assistant Jordan Ott. The pressure on Nash will be to perform. If he does that, it will presumably go a long way with Durant.

Q: Are the Nets done building their roster now?

A: Not close. Not by a long shot.

Yes, they let their DeAndre Jordan trade exception expire last week, but the Nets have six open roster spots, tied for the most in the entire NBA — three Exhibit 10s, a two-way and two standard spots. The first domino could be David Duke Jr., who rejected their two-way offer and is holding out for a standard deal. But they still have to fill out the rest of the roster.

Nic Claxton — whose starts have gone from zero to one to 19 in his three years in the league — has proclaimed himself ready to seize the center spot. But with DayRon Sharpe the only other 5 on the roster, it wouldn’t be a shock to see them look for a backup/competition for Claxton. And if they wanted to appease Durant, they could bring in Carmelo Anthony, a move he’s wanted them to make.
