Celtics, Raptors, Heat Considered Most Likely Trade Candidates For Kevin Durant

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Mon Aug 8, 2022 6:56 pm

The Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat remain the most significant candidates to complete a trade with the Brooklyn Nets for Kevin Durant at this venue, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Boston's package centered on Jaylen Brown is seen as a viable deal.

Joe Tsai and the Nets have privately made clear they will attempt to extract every last asset from a team that trades for Durant.

Durant has grown close with Ime Udoka from their time together with Brooklyn as well as Team USA.

KD close with 1000 different coaches in the NBA Chams. Doesn't mean Boston the best place for him

Watch the heat somehow
Get KD with just hero and Robinson.
They always seem to luck out.

"Joe Tsai and the Nets have privately made clear they will attempt to extract every last asset from a team that trades for Durant."

Very private information the other 29 teams will never know about. Nor the public lol. Good thing RealGM is only meant for Brooklyn Nets FO insiders

KD could have signed with BOS years ago and turned them down. How times have changed.

Keep JB and C’s will be set for the rest of the decade.

If the Celtics trade Brown for Durant they lose out on all fronts. KD in Boston will be akin to a Kyrie homecoming.

Boston are idiots if they trade Brown in a package for Durant. Tatum/Brown can be best wing duo in the NBA for 8 to 10 years.

Alright let's slow down there.

You do know KD never listed them as a team he wanted to go to? Also, Brown is set to leave once his deal with the C's is done. Being in a trade package for KD, after leading the team to the NBA Finals, and having a better Finals than the "face of the franchise" is a slap in the face.

The Heat would need to get a 3 team involved.
