Heading into this offseason, Kevin Durant is one star that many have speculated could be on the move this summer. Recent developments suggest he could make a return to the Eastern Conference to join forces with a fellow superstar.
In his latest mock draft for ESPN, Jonathan Givony also touched on intel he’s hearing around the league. When breaking down the Philadelphia 76ers at No. 3, he reported on the idea of the team packaging their selection for a star. Among the possible targets for the Sixers was Durant.
“Some teams expect the Sixers to be active in trade conversations, with names such as Kevin Durant (Phoenix) and Lauri Markkanen (Utah) as potential targets in packages that could include Paul George and the No. 3 pick. Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey has made a career of being active and aggressive on the trade front, but historically, it’s rare to see a top-three pick being traded.”
