?He Might Start the Year in..?: Latest Kevin Durant Update Provides Potentially Decisive News Amid James Harden Reunion Rumors with 76ers

Kevin Durant’s trade negotiations have almost reached a standstill as the likelihood of the Nets superstar starting for Brooklyn next season increases every passing day. Recent reports have suggested that such a scenario is very much on the cards. As it turns out, the possibility of a Kevin Durant trade is looking very unlikely under the current circumstances.

Meanwhile, Durant reportedly demanded the joint dismissal of Nets GM Sean Marks and head coach Steve Nash in a face-to-face meeting with Nets owner Joe Tsai last week.

Recent reports indicate towards Kevin Durant starting for Brooklyn next season

It has been a while since Kevin Durant requested a trade out of Brooklyn. However, such a deal seems more and more unlikely every passing day.

NBA analyst Tim Legler reiterated similar sentiments in a recent report. “He might start the year in Brooklyn,” said the 55-year-old NBA veteran. “And nobody expected that the day he made the announcement.”

Meanwhile, the Nets have made it clear that they would settle for nothing less than the core of a team for Kevin Durant. However, such a deal puts KD at a severe disadvantage. Because the 2014 MVP is clearly looking to contend for championships in the next few seasons.

Under such circumstances, Brooklyn seems to be the best destination for Durant. Kyrie Irving has already exercised his player option for the 2022-23 season. In addition, the team is expecting a healthy Ben Simmons next year.

Philly rumors

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly displayed interest in a KD trade. Such a trade would result in a potential reunion between Durant and former Nets star James Harden.

On the other hand, the 76ers would have to sacrifice their core group of players. The Nets front office wouldn’t settle for anything less than a package consisting of Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey, Matisse Thybulle, and multiple first-round picks.

However, the inclusion of Durant on the 76ers roster beside Joel Embiid and James Harden would instantly make Philadelphia the favorites to win it all next year.
