Top 10 Kevin Durant Trades

Top 10 Kevin Durant Trades

KEVIN DURANT just demanded a trade!!! I don’t know what to do besides write about it. These trades are rough but they financially work and are somewhat realistic. Here are the teams I would like to rule out for the sake of the article but I wouldn’t rule out in general.

Teams that KD Will Not Go To

Detroit Pistons

Indiana Pacers

Orlando Magic

Sacramento Kings

Houston Rockets

Teams that Do Not Have Assets or Assets they are Willing to Trade for KD

Golden State Warriors

Dallas Mavericks

Utah Jazz

Minnesota Timberwolves

San Antonio Spurs

Milwaukee Bucks

Cleveland Cavaliers

Charlotte Hornets

Denver Nuggets

Could But Just Does Not Seem Like Enough Interest on Both Sides

Philadelphia 76ers

  • Don’t think Maxey and bad contracts do it

Chicago Bulls

  • LaVine would need to be part of a sign and trade

Okahoma City Thunder

  • Nets stated they will only take best package and if they trade Chet or SGA then what is left?

Washington Wizards

  • I know he is from there but he didn’t even take a meeting in 2016

Nets Aren’t Trading Him Within City

New York Knicks

10. Atlanta Hawks

Hawks Get: Kevin Durant

Nets Get: John Collins, Onyeka Okongwu, De’Andre Ayton, 2023 Pick Swap, 2028 Pick Swap, 2029 Top 4 Protected First

This trade isn’t great but the Nets get enough that they can win some games while also getting future assets.

9. Toronto Raptors

Raptors Get: Kevin Durant

Nets Get: Scottie Barnes, Fred VanVleet, Thaddeus Young, 2023 Unprotected Pick, 2024 Pick Swap, 2025 Unprotected Pick, 2026 Pick Swap, 2027 Unprotected Pick, 2028 Pick Swap, 2029 Top 10 Protected Pick

The package is great!! Butttt I’m not sure Toronto does it because it would basically just be Pascal Siakam, Kevin Durant, then OG Anunoby.

8. Miami Heat

Heat Get: Kevin Durant

Nets Get: Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, Nikola Jovic, 2023 Unprotected Pick, 2024 Pick Swap, 2026 Pick Swap, 2027 Top 3 Protected Pick

If Brooklyn desperately wants to keep winning then they will look to acquire a top 15 player like Jimmy Butler. Along with Butler, the Nets get two picks and Tyler Herro. Still, at the end of the day this is still not enough for KD.

7. Memphis Grizzlies

Grizzlies Get: Kevin Durant

Nets Get: Dillon Brooks, Steven Adams, Desmond Bane, Ziaire Williams, Jake LaRavia, 2023 Unprotected Pick, 2024 Top 4 Protected Pick (via GSW), 2024 Pick Swap, 2025 Unprotected Pick, 2026 Pick Swap, 2027 Unprotected Pick

I understand that this is ALOT to trade but it is KEVIN DURANT. Ja Morant and KD might make the Grizzlies instantly the favorites in the West so it may be a no brainer for the Grizzlies.

6. Portland Trail Blazers

Trail Blazers Get: Kevin Durant

Nets Get: Anfernee Simons (sign and trade), Shaedon Sharpe, Nassir Little, Keon Johnson, 2024 Pick Swap, 2025 Unprotected Pick, 2026 Pick Swap, 2027 Top 3 Protected Pick

Lillard and Kevin Durant in Portland would be something. I question if the Blazers have enough assets to acquire KD but you best believe they will be on the phones.

5. New Orleans Pelicans

Pelicans Get: Kevin Durant

Nets Get: Zion, Dyson Daniels, Kira Lewis, DeVonte Graham, 2023 Pick Swap (via LAL), 2024 Unprotected Pick (via LAL), 2024 Pick Swap, 2026 Pick Swap (via MIL), 2027 Top 1 Protected Pick

Zion for KD anyone?? The Pelicans give up the farm for the Hall of Famer and the Nets get a plethora of talent and picks.

4. Los Angeles Clippers

Clippers Get: Kevin Durant

Nets Get: Paul George, Brandon Boston Jr., Moussa Diabate, 2027 Pick Swap, 2028 Pick Swap, 2029 Pick Swap

The Nets get a star back in Paul George along with three years of pick swaps and the Clippers get the most deadly two-way duo in a while with KD and Kawhi.

3. Los Angeles Lakers

Lakers Get: Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving

Nets Get: Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Max Christie, Austin Reaves, 2027 Unprotected Pick, 2028 Pick Swap, 2029 Unprotected Pick

I know, I know. No way right? Right? I am just saying if the Nets want to stay in the playoff picture then Anthony Davis could help that right away.

2. Boston Celtics

Celtics Get: Kevin Durant

Nets Get: Jaylen Brown, Robert Williams, Aaron Nesmith, 2023 Unprotected Pick, 2024 Pick Swap, 2025 Unprotected Pick, 2026 Pick Swap

This is an exceptional trade package so I don’t have much to say besides that this trade could work.

1. Phoenix Suns

Suns Get: Kevin Durant

Nets Get: DeAndre Ayton (Sign and Trade), Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, 2023 Unprotected Picks, 2024 Pick Swap, 2025 Unprotected Pick, 2026 Pick Swap, 2027 Top 3 Protected Pick, 2029 Top 5 Protected Pick

The Suns give everything they have and in return they get the title favorite team. CP3, Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant produce a deadly trio in Phoenix.
