The Boston Celtics have yet to include Marcus Smart or Robert Williams in a proposal to the Brooklyn Nets for Kevin Durant, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The Celtics are viewed around the league as the "clear cut-answer as the team that has the ingratiates to make a deal with Brooklyn happen."

When the Celtics offered Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and a first round pick in July, Brooklyn countered by requesting the inclusion of Smart, more draft picks and potentially one additional rotation player.

The Celtics have the necessary pieces to execute a trade and Brooklyn has listened, but a gap on an actionable deal remains.

I am convinced this deal will never happen and KD is suiting up for BKN all season

They swept the Nets last season, so why would they give up that much to get Durant….ridiculous.
