KEVIN DURANT TO SIXERS STILL A REAL POSSIBILITY
By Jerry Wein
Are the Sixers still in the Kevin Durant sweepstakes?
Per Marc Stein via his substack, Durant will do everything in his power to get out of Brooklyn with four teams in his sight:
“If Durant hasn’t been traded by then, there is a growing expectation in league circles that he will continue trying to cause as much of a ruckus behind the scenes to try to prod the Nets into lowering their asking price at last to facilitate a deal.
“If it wasn’t apparent by now, he really wants that trade to Phoenix or Miami or maybe even Boston or Philadelphia, no matter what it does to his reputation when he hasn’t played a single game yet under the four-year, $194 million contract extension signed in August 2021.
