Despite some calm in recent weeks, the NBA is still preparing for a likely departure for Kevin Durant. And while the Rockets have been mentioned for a while, an Eastern franchise could be joining the party.
While the Giannis Antetokounmpo soap opera has been the talk of the town in recent weeks, we can’t forget that Kevin Durant’s future hasn’t yet been decided. After an unsuccessful season with the Suns and his franchise having to get rid of players to avoid sanctions, his departure seems set for this summer.
Eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets are among the favorites to sign him this offseason, especially as the Texan team has draft rounds belonging to Phoenix in the first place. But it’s not yet clear whether the rumor will be confirmed, especially as a rebound is possible at the start of free agency.
False start for Kevin Durant?
Insiders explain, for example, that Durant has not yet left the Suns. The Suns could make sure they keep the star, especially as the new GM is a big fan of number 35 and has let him know since his arrival. But that won’t stop certain offensives, with this Eastern organization for example.
While there’s a lot of talk about the Rockets, or even the Spurs for a while, the Sixers could give it a go according to Jeremy Woo for ESPN. They’d like to revive their team after a nightmare year at the bottom of the East, and could even use Paul George to achieve their goal. Surprising news.
Jeremy Woo : “Some teams expect the Sixers to be active in trade conversations, with names such as Kevin Durant(Phoenix) and Lauri Markkanen (Utah) as potential targets in packages that could include Paul George and the No. 3 pick.”
Because while there’s a lot of talk about the Spurs and Mavericks, the Sixers inherited a nice pick with the third position in the draft. Ideal for recruiting a young player, or using this pick in a trade to pick up a star. And given Daryl Morey’s ambition to win another title, we’re leaning towards the second option.
