It s a mess! Durant s battle, 2 dark horses appeared, and 2 teams have bottom chips, which can threaten the Rockets

In this offseason, Suns star Kevin Durant's trading trends are a topic of widespread concern in the industry. It is a foregone conclusion that the Suns want to trade Durant. The key is, which team will Durant be traded to before this year's draft? Currently, there are four or five teams with trade rumors with Durant, including: Rockets, Spurs, Timberwolves, and Heat. These teams can provide the Suns with good bargaining chips. Whoever is more sincere and adds more chips will have a better chance of getting Durant.

The Rockets are the most advantageous team here. The main reason is that the Rockets have the Suns' three future first-round picks, all of which are unprotected. These are the reconstruction assets that the Suns are eager to come back. As long as the Rockets are willing to give the Suns 1 to 2 first-round draft picks, I believe the Suns will send Durant to Houston without hesitation. At present, the Rockets lead the battle for Durant, the key is to see the Rockets management, whether they are willing to give up some players and draft picks in exchange for Durant.

Of course, the Spurs, the Timberwolves, and the Heat are also eyeing Durant. Although Durant is about to turn 38, his strength is still unquestionable, enough to make some teams interested in him. Interestingly, while these teams compete for Durant, there are two teams who quickly enter the battle with a dark horse, and there is a great opportunity to intercept teams such as the Rockets and Spurs to become Durant's final next home. These two teams are the Clippers in the West and the Raptors in the East.

Today, according to ESPN famous reporter Brian Windhorst, the Raptors and the Clippers are "lurking" in the battle for Durant. According to previous famous reporter Stein, the Raptors want to take a try on KD. Now the odds of KD's next player are the Timberwolves, Heat and Rockets leading the top three. Some people will say that the Raptors and the Clippers are interested in Durant. Can they come up with trading chips that satisfy the Suns? Actually, it's OK. On the Raptors, it is said that they have put the big sniper Barrett on the trading shelves. If Durant is exchanged for Barrett for solar power, I believe they will be shaken.

As for the Clippers, although the Clippers don't have many chips, they have a player who is enough to impress the Suns, which is center Zubac. In the past season, Zubac has been able to play quasi-All-star data and shine in the playoffs. Most of the Clippers fans are reluctant to part with Zubac. No Clippers fans would dislike Zubac last season. However, he is more like a quantitative measure for the championship level, and he will not bring you too many unexpected miracles.

Durant is a variable. If your team environment makes him comfortable, he is an uncontrollable weapon that can directly advance to the championship level. Harden, Kat, and Zubac. The basic market is definitely there, but I want to achieve a breakthrough in the championship. Actually it's not easy. Because, no matter how powerful Zubac is, it's actually over here. He can't really become a giant in the real inside line like Jokic. However, although this lineup has age risks and injuries, if this lineup is guaranteed to be healthy in the playoffs, the upper limit will be much higher.

As long as the Clippers withstand the regular season, the upper limit of the lineup of Little Card + Durant + Harden in the playoffs is greater. Moreover, this lineup can attract many players to join, just to see if the Clippers dare to gamble. Of course, the Clippers' chips are not enough compared to the Spurs, Rockets, and Timberwolves. However, if Durant designates to join the Clippers and other teams' chips are not much better than the Clippers, the Clippers' opportunity will come.

Who will KD eventually win this Durant battle? Let's keep our attention on this.
