From our friends hoopshype, updated NBA trade rumor rankings: Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell and more.
It’s time for another edition of our trade rumor rankings series, where we rank the 10 players who have appeared most often in trade rumors over the previous week.
As for the Miami possibility that also seems to be in play, I’m told there’s a significant obstacle on that front. Kevin Durant, it seems, would only want to play on a Heat team that includes Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry. So even if the Heat were willing to move Butler in a deal as a way of satisfying the Nets’ request, doing so would leave Durant discontented from the start.
The Athletic reported later in the week that the Nets might not be all that interested in an Ayton-Bridges package in exchange for their superstar small forward: If the Nets are to blow things up as it appears, look for Harris to be a player that could be had by rival clubs for pretty cheap considering where his trade value is at the moment.7 Ben Simmons David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports
Although Kevin Durant favors Phoenix as his landing spot, part of the reason for that being the ability to play alongside Devin Booker, according to Vincent Goodwill, the Nets would want Booker back in a Durant deal.From Brooklyn’s perspective, sources said, there’s no deal to land Durant in Phoenix that doesn’t start with sending back Devin Booker to Barclays Center. The Suns, of course, would likely hold the line firm.
Haynes immediately followed that up by tweeting that talks are just preliminary at this point, curbing any and all excitement on the matter rather quickly. Chris Kirschner on John Collins’ trade market: From talking with people since the draft, it seems like the market for Collins has decreased quite a bit. Now, I’m not really sure who’s interested in him… As it stands now for John, the market has definitely dwindled down for him. It’s not a possibility the Hawks just keep him. The Hawks aren’t going to just trade John for nothing. We’re talking about someone who’s a really good player.
Even so, Stein reported over the weekend that LeBron James himself has lobbied hard to get Irving on the Nets, as the four-time league MVP wants to see his former teammate join him in L.A. badly: All indications at the moment are that this situation between Durant and the Nets might drag out quite a bit, as Brooklyn will look to avoid rushing into a deal. Wojnarowski stated as much recently:
