Is Kevin Durant still as coveted as media tells me he is?

I see every day some mock trade so another team can land durant. Giving up a shite ton of stuff. Do teams actually thinks durant is gonna bring a championship? He has failed in brooklyn and phoenix and essentially been irrelevant. Why would a team gut young players and depth for 1 old kevin durant?

I dont think he is that coveted anymore. I think there would be teams that are interested in him, but I dont see anyone giving up anything of significance for him.
Maybe a Houston, that feels like they are close, but they aren't going to gut their roster for him.

If he played his cards right, he could end up being Robert Horry. Bounce here and there and pick up some rings.
If.

They have to break that group up, so if you don’t want to trade Booker and can’t trade Beal(no trade clause) then Durant is really your only option.
I dont think he gets you as much as what Clips gave up to get PG, but he should still fetch a young player and a pick.

I’ve always wondered what the Suns were thinking with that Beal deal.

He could still be a deciding piece for a team trying to get over the hump. Teams like The Knicks, Nuggets or Pistons who play a little slower and need another bucket getter outside of their main star could use someone like Durant.

At the time, they were basically just swapping an aging CP for Beal who I think was 29-30 at the time. Looked good on paper, but him having that no trade clause would have been enough to give me pause.

Sure, you don't blow up an entire roster for Durant, but he is far from irrelevant.

In Brooklyn and Phoenix, he has averaged 28 points, on shooting splits of 53/42/88, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists per game.
That’s still pretty elite

Durant is awesome and apparently a really good human being

I thought with his build, and height, he could me one the best.
He's a very good player, but i thought he had another level.

He will be 37 this year and cost almost $55 million. Only good thing is he is a free agent after that.

The problem is very simple with a lot of these vets…the talent you’re giving up greatly weakens the team thus eliminating them to win a championship

He was 6th in scoring, this past season.
Only Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis, Jokic, Ant Man & Jason Tatum scored more points per game
He scored more per game than
Cade Cunningham
Jalen Brunson
Devin Booker
Damian Lillard
Stephen Curry
Karl-Anthony Towns
LeBron James
He played in fewer games than all of those guys except for Lillard.

PHX is on Booker more than Durant.

Imagine if Durant had Westbrooks heart....could have been one of the best.
