?Why Would They Trade Their Best Player..?: Unearthed Kevin Durant Trade News Leaves NBA World in Shambles

It looks like trade rumors surrounding Kevin Durant are starting to pick up the pace once again. Though no official offers have been made, fans and analysts have been speculating about Kevin Durant’s future with the Brooklyn Nets. And one offer that seemed like a win-win situation for both teams has been struck down completely.?

Earlier, there were rumors of a Jaylen Brown and Kevin Durant swap between the Brooklyn Nets and the Boston Celtics. However, that idea has since been scrapped after an executive from the Eastern Conference confirmed it.?

Celtics not taking any chances with the future of their franchise

An Eastern Conference executive reportedly told Heavy.com that the Celtics would under no circumstances trade Jaylen Brown for Kevin Durant. The executive said:?“Oh, it would be zero interest from the Celtics, that would be a non-starter. Brown?s an All-Star and he?s eight years younger than K.D. The team?s playing well, they?re not going to touch that.”

It would arguably be an odd move for the Boston Celtics to trade one of their up-and-coming stars to trade for an aging Kevin Durant. Jaylen Brown has been playing exceptionally well for the Celtics. He is averaging 25.1 PPG, 6.6 RPG, and 3.2 APG so far this season with a true shooting percentage of 58.4%.

But as soon as the news came out, fans couldn’t help but react to it. One fan tweeted, “Why would they trade their best player for Durmid.”

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

Furthermore, the Celtics? front office wouldn’t want to break the duo of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. The two All-Stars will possibly go on to be the centerpieces of the Celtics’ future. And the front office would likely be looking to build a team around these two stars.

Jaylen Brown vs Kevin Durant

Durant is already 34 years old whereas Brown is just 26. He arguably still has a lot more productive years ahead of him. Even though KD has been producing at a high level so far this season, fans have pointed out that this move does not seem to make sense for Boston.?

And when Jayson Tatum struggled from the floor, Jaylen Brown took it upon himself to be the team?s scoring option on offense. The duo of Tatum and Brown is already an exciting one for fans to see. And it will likely only get better as both players transition into their primes.?
