When an NBA star requests a trade, it makes headlines. When that star is Kevin Durant, it makes waves.
That’s exactly what’s happening this summer. Everyone knows that Durant is vying for an exit from the Brooklyn Nets. Now, it’s just a matter of finding his next landing spot.
The Sacramento Kings aren’t exactly one of the most popular destinations. Realistically, they seldom are. This organization hasn’t made the postseason in 16 years.
Understandably, that may have played a role in keeping them off of Durant’s list of preferred destinations. With that said, there is talent in Sacramento leading up to 2022-23.
With the addition of Durant, who knows what this team’s ceiling could be?
Here’s a deal that allows them to find out.
Brooklyn Nets Receive: F Harrison Barnes, C Richaun Holmes, F Keegan Murray, G Davion Mitchell, 2023 First-Round Pick (SAC), 2026 First-Round Pick (SAC), 2027 First-Round Pick (Swap – SAC), 2028 First-Round Pick (SAC), 2029 First-Round Pick (Swap – SAC)
Sacramento Kings Receive: F Kevin Durant
In all likelihood, you were expecting to see a bigger name landing in Brooklyn here. Think again.
