The 12-time All-Star Kevin Durant asked the Nets to be traded 4 weeks ago. Since then, there have been several teams that have shown interest in the forward: Heat, Suns and Raptors in the lead. But now the Boston Celtics are emerging strongly.
secures Adrian Wojnarowski (ESPN) that the Celtics and Nets have been negotiating a more than attractive transfer scenario for several weeks.
Brooklyn wants a”massive return“In exchange for their big star, a consistent return of multiple unprotected first-round draft picks, as well as some impactful players. And Boston is in a position to approach those lofty claims.
According to Woj, Boston would have offered Brooklyn to the All-Star Jaylen Brownone of its great stars, who would be accompanied in the exchange by other players.
But it is that, in addition, Celtics have the capacity to include in the agreement 3 unprotected first round elections from the years 2025, 2027 and 2029, as well as draft exchanges corresponding to the years 2024 and 2026.
Boston wouldn’t need to involve a third team to get a deal done, but Brooklyn isn’t in a hurry and is willing to pull the strings to the max.
Whatever happens, ESPN makes it clear that no deal is imminent.
It seems that the summer soap opera starring Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving It won’t be exactly short.
