Kevin Durant has interest in a trade to the Boston Celtics or Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell Ian Begley of SNY.tv. Durant was previously focused on the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat, who each likely lack the assets necessary to trade for him.
The Celtics and Brooklyn Nets engaged last month on a trade centered around Durant for Jaylen Brown.
The Nets have sought the inclusion of Marcus Smart, who Durant would like to play with if he’s traded to the Celtics.
Brown has been the best single player offered to the Nets in a trade for Durant.
The Sixers would have to include Tyrese Maxey in a trade for Durant along with some combination of Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle and other assets. The Sixers already sent a number of assets to the Nets as part of the James Harden trade.
