Oklahoma City Thunder Receive: F Kevin Durant
The package the Nets are receiving here can only be described as epic. That’s what it will take to land Kevin Durant.
We already know that. After all, Durant requested a trade this summer. It never happened. It seemed as if the Nets’ asking price was too high for anyone to meet.
That’s fair. Suppose you had a gram of antimatter. You could try to sell it, but nobody in the world could afford it.
Still, markets change. Teams that would not have thought they were competitive enough to swing a deal for Durant have surprised themselves.
