Rumors of NBA Trade: Maverix, given Kevin Durant -Kiri Irving Reunion to fill Luka Doncic’s void in Blocbaster Move – Sportskeeda

As a result of the blockbuster trade that Dallas’s superstar Luka Doncic to La Lakers sent, another superstar is the subject of rumors of trade. According to reports, Phoenix Suns measure the star of the star forward Kevin Durant.

According to an article by Sam Amik of Athletic, David Aldridge and Anthony Slater, Maverix General Nico Harrison’s general manager will focus on players with big names after the criticism and the reverse reaction he received for Doncic trade. The report shows that Dallas hopes to unite the 15-time NBA All-Star and the former MVP with his former teammate in Brooklyn Nets Kiri Irving.

Irving, Durant and recently acquired Anthony Davis, could form a “big threesome” in Dallas, which potentially increases its chances for the championship.

“League sources say Dallas Maverix, fresh by his swap Luca Doncic-Za-Antoni Davis, who sent shock waves through the association, dreams of adding Durant to his group, led by Davis-Kari Irring,” the report said. “While the likelihood of Dallas with this now seems unlikely, the idea of ​​Durant itself joining the Star Group of Dallas, sheds a new light on the thinking of Maverix General Manager Nico Harrison after he was scarce for the Doncic deal.”

According to Statmuse, Irving and Durant played only 74 games together in Brooklyn from 2019-20 to the middle of the 2022-23 season, when they were both traded. Along with another All-Star, James Harden, they formed a “big threesome” in Brooklyn. The suspensions, the problems with the eligibility of the Covid and the injuries derailed their championship aspirations with the nets.

Currently, Durant plays with several All-Star teammates, Devin Booker and Bradley Biel. But Phoenix is ​​a more nail this season and has reached expectations. Its record 25-24 is bound for the 10th in the racing Western conference.

Kevin Durant is also connected to another former team

Another former Kevin Durant team is open to collect the 36-year-old superstar again. According to NBA Insider Chris Manick, Golden State Warriors are interested in gathering with Durant.

Kevin Durant won two Warriors Championships, including several MVP awards in the final.

“The warriors are really seriously gathering with Kevin Durant, SI sources said. And with the efforts to acquire Jimmy Butler, a stagnation of rivals, they believe that the sunny is considering deals with Durant before the deadline,” Manick wrote.

Pressing is growing for Golden State’s front office to maximize the remaining years of Steph Curry, which will turn 37 in March. Warriors are looking for either a superstar or several key tracks to help the team in what it hopes to be a deep post -season running.

NBA teams still have time to make some moves less than 48 hours before the trading deadline.
