Kevin Durant, but Where?
You trade for Durant if you are one piece away from a title. If you honestly believe you could win it
next year, and you do not see another path to get there in the near future.
The Lakers, Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers are surely thirsty for Durant, but none have the
necessary draft capital.
It is hard to imagine the Nets dealing Durant in New York to the Knicks for a trade centered
around RJ Barrett and picks.
The Golden State Warriors have been there with Durant and just won the title without him. The
Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat are reportedly on Durant's list of preferred destinations.
The Minnesota Timberwolves could not cobble together an offer, excluding Edwards or
Karl-Anthony Towns, that would sell the Sixers on trading Ben Simmons, so good luck finding
one for Durant.
The Chicago Bulls would need Zach LaVine to approve a sign-and-trade deal to even inquire
about Durant.
Durant for Donovan Mitchell and picks might not be enough to push the Jazz over the top, even
if Durant were happy in Utah.
Whether Durant will make good on his end is a matter left to his health and willingness to stay in
one place.
