Boston Celtics Offered Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, And A First Round Pick For Kevin Durant, The Nets Rejected And Asked Them To Add Marcus Smart And More Picks.

kd-jaylen-brown.webp


The market for Kevin Durant was supposed to mainly be the Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat. Following the Suns' matching the Pacers' max offer for Deandre Ayton, it became more apparent that they would not be able to join in on the race to land Durant. However, a newcomer with an interest in KD has now emerged, with the Boston Celtics reportedly making an offer for him.

The Celtics made it to the NBA Finals but couldn't cross the final hurdle, losing to the Golden State Warriors. They addressed their need for additional playmaking and scoring by acquiring Malcolm Brogdon from the Pacers. And now it seems they wanted to try an even more drastic change, trying to get Kevin Durant by giving up one of their foundational young pieces in Jaylen Brown.

Shams Charania explained the Celtics' offer, but then also reported that the Nets immediately rejected it and came up with a counter of their own.


"The Boston Celtics recently offered a package around one-time All-Star Jaylen Brown for Durant and have emerged as a real threat to acquire Durant, league sources tell The Athletic.

"The Celtics offered Brown, guard Derrick White and a draft pick to the Nets for Durant, sources said. The proposal was rejected, and Brooklyn has asked Boston — in any proposal — to include Brown, Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart, draft picks and potentially one more rotation player, those sources added. Currently, the Celtics are less inclined to include Smart along with multiple other player or pick assets, but the franchise is mulling over next steps on how to approach discussions.

"As of right now, the Celtics have emerged as a serious possibility as a landing spot for Durant. They have tremendous interest in bringing him in and view him as a piece that could take them over that final hurdle. Although there is work to be done, there is a deal to be had that would suffice the Nets’ overwhelming ask."

For the longest time, it has seemed like the market for KD is quite stuck, but it seems that the Celtics could find a deal that could see them land the former MVP. Durant and Tatum would be an incredibly dangerous duo, but if they have to give up 3 key players, including core members like Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown, then they might not have the firepower left to immediately challenge for the title again.

UPDATES


• The Los Angeles Lakers spoke to the Utah Jazz and New York Knicks a few weeks ago about a hypothetical three-team trade scenario around Donovan Mitchell and Russell Westbrook, league sources tell Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
The Knicks would’ve had to part with veteran salary filler to Jazz such as Derrick Rose to help make the salaries work. The Lakers also have had interest in trading for Knicks forward Cam Reddish, who could also become part of a trade, while the Knicks would have interest in acquiring Malik Beasley.

* If Donovan Mitchell ends up in New York, there could be talks between the Knicks and Lakers involving Julius Randle, according to Marc Stein.

He was the team’s second-leading scorer behind Curry in the Finals at 18.3 PPG and the leading rebounder at 8.8 RPG.

UPDATES


🔸 The Los Angeles Lakers are “hopeful” Russell Westbrook can increase his corner three-point shooting percentage this upcoming season.

🔸 The New Orleans Pelicans remain interested in a deal for Kevin Durant and could put together a 'compelling package' around Brandon Ingram.

🔸 The Lakers are trending towards giving up two first-round picks to acquire Kyrie Irving, according to team insider Jovan Buha of The Athletic.

🔸 Rob Pelinka wants LeBron James to retire as a Laker and promised to give him every resource to win a championship.
There have been some suggestions that LeBron James may end up leaving the Los Angeles Lakers in the near future. It seems as though the franchise is trying to prevent that at all costs.

NEWS :


🔸 Lakers head coach Darvin Ham said one wrinkle he will implement and stick with is having the offense run through Anthony Davis, per Chris Haynes.
The team has been encouraged with Davis’ offseason progression and believe he’ll be in optimum shape to avoid serious injuries and carry a heavier load.
298666252_1482637265519831_2773012324595900094_n.jpg


🔸 The Golden State Warriors could be forced to trade James Wiseman before his rookie contract ends, according to Heavy.com.
Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Jordan Poole will all be in need of contract extensions, and it’s highly unlikely that the Warriors will be able to extend all of them. But the only player no one seems to be talking about is James Wiseman.
Wiseman only has two years left on his contract. By the time it ends, Golden State will be even deeper into the luxury tax, and with how young Wiseman is and how small of a role he’ll probably have on the Warriors over the next two years, other teams could be willing to overpay for him.

🔸 Free agent guard Quinn Cook has agreed to a one-year deal with the Sacramento Kings.
The two-time NBA champion played for the G-League Stockton Kings last season and is competing for a third point guard spot. Last played in the NBA for Cavs 2020-21 season.

🔸 Kyrie Irving wanted new deal to guarantee he wouldn't have to play more than 60 games in a season and could sit out back-to-backs.
Kyrie Irving reportedly had some interesting demands when attempting to negotiate a new deal with the team this offseason, but Irving didn’t come to terms on a long-term deal with the Nets, and he instead opted into the final year of his contract.

🔸 The Philadelphia 76ers have emerged as a suitor for Kevin Durant.
"As of earlier this week, there were high-ranking members of the Sixers who've felt strongly about engaging with Brooklyn on a Durant trade," Ian Begley of SNY reported.
A potential deal would "almost certainly" include point guard Tyrese Maxey, per Begley, while Tobias Harris and Matisse Thybulle were also listed as possible options for a trade package.

🔸 Draymond Green said prime Carmelo Anthony is a better scorer than prime Kevin Durant and went on to talk about the specific reason why he is choosing Melo.
“Ooooh, Carmelo or Durant in their prime. I’m going to go Melo”, Draymond said.
“And the reason I'm going to go with Melo is I grew up watching Melo score the basketball. I grew up watching Melo get a bucket however he wanted. You wanted mid-post work? First step is crazy. You wanted straight block work? Fadeaway is tough, and Melo will bully the hell out of somebody. You want the trey ball? We all know he can do that.”

🔸 🔸Giannis Antetokounmpo said that he wouldn't rule out signing with the Chicago Bulls once his deal is up with the Milwaukee Bucks.
“Everybody would love to play for Chicago. Down the line, you never know. Maybe I play for Chicago. But right now, I'm committed to Milwaukee.”

🔸 🔸KD’s former teammate Andre Iguodala recently spoke about the Kevin Durant trade saga and he thinks that Durant should stay in Brooklyn.
“I think he should stay in Brooklyn, it’s such a big market, it’s good for the game and just figure out how to make it work like everybody grow up and make it work. That’s how I feel about the situation.”
“This is a situation where it’s either, look, man just come out here and play or don’t play because you got 4 years, we got you for a while so it’s not like you’re on an expiring contract and then you can just take off a year and we just give up a year. Like he’s getting older and time is everything.”

🔸 🔸To complete the five-game slate on Christmas Day, the Bucks are set to face the Celtics at TD Garden, per Shams Charania.

🔸 The Knicks and Jazz recently re-engaged in trade talks centered on Donovan Mitchell.
After several weeks of no conversations, the New York Knicks and Utah Jazz recently re-engaged in trade talks centered on Donovan Mitchell, league sources tell The Athletic.
There is no traction between the two teams on a deal, and no Mitchell trade is imminent for the Jazz. The Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards are also among the teams pursuing Mitchell, sources said.

🔸 The Utah Jazz have rejected New York Knicks offer for Julius Randle, they want RJ Barrett and six future first-round picks instead.
"Utah didn't want Julius Randle, from what I'm told. They don't want him. The Knicks were willing to unload him. They want RJ Barrett. They want at least 6 1st-round picks," according to Stephen A Smith.

🔸 The Los Angeles Lakers have been willing to include both of their first round-picks in a Kyrie Irving deal but the Brooklyn Nets are NOT interested.

Gasol with the Lakers was a 2x NBA champion, 3x NBA All-Star and 3x All-NBA. No. 16 will be raised to the rafters beside 24. 💜💛
