Brooklyn Nets Receive: G/F Andrew Wiggins, F Jonathan Kuminga, G Jordan Poole, 2026 First-Round Pick (GSW), 2028 First-Round Pick (GSW)
Golden State Warriors Receive: F Kevin Durant
Apparently, the Brooklyn Nets are seeking a wild haul of a trade return in exchange for their superstar wing. Something tells us there could be a little wiggle room there.
Consider Jonathan Kuminga. He is 19. He flashed immense potential in his rookie season with the Warriors but didn’t see enough floor time to be completely sure of what his future holds. Is he really meaningfully different from a draft pick?
Meanwhile, the Nets arguably receive two stars here. Andrew Wiggins may not be one in the traditional sense, but he was named an All-Star starter in 2021-22.
Wiggins’ blend of 3-and-D utility and secondary shot creation makes him a high-impact player. His value was on display consistently throughout the Warriors’ title run.

Meanwhile, Jordan Poole has clearly demonstrated the potential for stardom. In fact, he might be the number one option in Brooklyn from day one.
As we consider it, could the Warriors be giving up too much in exchange for the 33-year-old Durant?
