A Kevin Durant-sized wrecking ball has crashed through free agency. Durant requested a trade from the Nets on Thursday, according to multiple reports. His wish comes after Kyrie Irving opted into the final year of his contract with Brooklyn, though Irving’s name is expected to be on the trade block now, as well. Durant, who will be 34 by the start of the season, is signed through 2026 with no player options on his current deal. The two-time Finals MVP averaged 29.9 points per game in 2022. Among the teams on his preferred list of destinations are the Suns and the Heat, according to multiple reports. Here are five Durant trades we would like to see happen.
