Kevin Durant has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets, where do you think he'll end up going?

I think the best spots for him that would make sense for both player & team would either be Phoenix or Portland. The Suns have never won a title and the Blazers last won one with Bill Walton so if Durant helped win either a title it would add some legitmacy to his own legacy.
The Suns adding KD would likely make them the #1 favorite for 2022-23 and Phoenix has some solid pieces that it could send to Brooklyn without gutting their core.
KD joining Dame Lillard on the Blazers would move Portland into contender status even though their roster won't be as deep as GS or Phoenix,imo.

Celtics nation is ready to implode right now because one of the team's tv announcers threw out a KD for Jaylen Brown/picks proposal. Brown might be the best individual player that gets offered for KD but I have a hard time seeing the C's front office blowing up this team just weeks after getting to game 6 in the Finals.
Thank god Danny Ainge isn't still running things in Boston lol, he'd be standing outside Jaylen Brown's front door right now with a pile of moving boxes and an eviction notice.

I for one would much rather have jaylen brown than 34 year old durant.

I think the craziest trade idea that I've read yet today is Kyrie & KD getting dealt to the Lakers for Russell Westbrook & Anthony Davis.

He always gets hurt during the season now that time is taking it's toll on his body - BUT, some team will think just like the Nets, that he will bring them a championship - NOT!

That was my first thought but we have no one to trade back with. I am sure Lillard is chomping at the bit right now to make it happen.

I was thinking a package based around Anfernee Simons,Eric Bledsoe and picks might have been a good place to start imo but that would have meant Simons agreeing to a sign & trade. Lillard,Hart,Grant,KD & re-signing Nurk would make for a formidable starting five.

Is he going to join the Packers? Is that what he's trying to tell us?
