After an amazing year of balling display, fans were expecting a rather relaxed and quiet off-season. But with blockbuster transactions taking place which result in aggressive offers and high salaries being made to players, fans couldn’t be more entertained. This off-season, the big name that continues to make headlines is one of the best players in the NBA currently, Kevin Durant.

Kevin Durant has made it clear that he does not want to stay at the Nets and is looking for a new destination. Any team would definitely want a top-class player like KD on their team. In fact, various teams have even made several offers for KD already.

However, some recent updates are pointing in one direction and we might finally get some clarity on KD’s next destination.

Kevin Durant to the Sixers?

Amongst the many teams who have offered their assets for Kevin Durant, the front runners were only a few. Only recently, the Celtics had reportedly offered a major player in their trade package for KD. This meant that they were seriously looking to get the 7ft beast on their roster. However, Celtic fans were pretty unhappy with the offer and were vocal about it as well.

After coming so close to the championship last year, making a move like that would surely send a strong statement. But now, recent updates might just change things for the Celtics camp.

Recently, the NBA central tweeted that the Celtics are far from a deal that would make KD one of them. This had the fans in Philadelphia rejoice, though. Since the major front runners for the Kevin Durant deal are the Celtics, Sixers, and the Suns, this is certainly a big moment for Sixers fans. It brings them closer to getting a great player on the team and thus a step closer to winning a championship.

Upon receiving this update, the Sixers fans on Twitter showed their happiness by retweeting the report. Many fans even announced already, ?He?s a Sixer.?
